Which assessment finding would necessitate action by the nurse for a 10-month-old child who is 4 hours postoperative for the placement of a urethral stent?

  • A. Bloody urine
  • B. One void since returning from surgery
  • C. Bladder spasms responding to pharmacologic intervention
  • D. Double diapering from the previous shift
