A client has had a cystoscopy. Which finding should the nurse report to the provider?

  2. A small amount of blood in the first urine
  3. A need to urinate when the bladder is full

Correct answer: Blood in the urine that continues after three voidings

A small amount of blood is expected after the procedure, but bleeding that persists after urinating three times should be reported.
