When a patient has high PVR, nurses can implement the following interventions:
- Bladder Training: Encourage scheduled voiding to help improve bladder function. - Medication Management: Administer prescribed medications that facilitate bladder emptying. - Catheterization: Perform intermittent catheterization to ensure complete bladder emptying if necessary. - Patient Education: Educate the patient on lifestyle changes that can improve urinary function, such as fluid management and pelvic floor exercises.
