After a transurethral resection of the prostate, the retention catheter is pulled taut and secured to the client's leg. the client reports a feeling of pressure and asks why this is necessary. what rationale should the nurse include in a response to this question?

The answer would be: Prevents bleeding

Transurethral resection of the prostate or TURP operation done by resecting the prostate from urethral. This procedure could damage the nearby blood vessel of the urethra, makes the patient is prone to bleeding after the treatment. The pressure applied to constrict the blood vessel to reduce bleeding.

The answer would be

Answer:

it provides an alternative energy pathway for the reaction to proceed.

explanation:

a catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction but is not consumed during the course of the reaction.

catalysts increase the rate of reaction without being used up. they do this by lowering the activation energy needed. with a catalyst, more collisions result in a reaction, so the rate of reaction increases. different reactions need different catalysts.

a catalyst works by providing an alternative reaction pathway to the reaction product. the rate of the reaction is increased as this alternative route has a lower activation energy than the reaction route not mediated by the catalyst.
