Final answer:

After a suprapubic prostatectomy, the nurse should focus on proper catheter care to prevent secondary bladder infections.


Explanation:

Immediate actions following a suprapubic prostatectomy to prevent secondary bladder infections involve ensuring proper catheter care. This includes attaching the catheter to suction to maintain urinary flow, not clamping off the connecting tube which could lead to urinary retention and subsequent infections, and not necessarily changing dressings frequently unless there is a specific indication to do so.
