A client with the diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis who is very shy and modest is scheduled for a voiding cystourethrogram. Why should the nurse determine that this client would benefit from increased support and teaching about the procedure?

ExplanationHaving to void in the presence of others can be very embarrassing for clients, and it may actually interfere with the client’s ability to void.
