Presentation most consistent with acute urinary retention given demographic features (older man who is post-op) who presents with suprapubic tenderness (abdominal pain) and anuria unresponsive to fluids
Managed via catheter insertion and urinalysis (rule out UTI)
Patient is unresponsive to 1 L, so unlikely that another 1 L will help
Patient is producing no urine, so diuretic is unlikely to help
