Question 5 of 5
Which nursing action is recommended to promote comfort for a post-operative patient?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Providing regular pain assessment and management is key to promoting comfort in post-operative patients, as pain is a common barrier to recovery. Effective pain control improves mobility, sleep, and overall well-being, enabling faster healing. A very cold room might cause discomfort or shivering, countering recovery efforts. Limiting pain medication delays progress, as uncontrolled pain hinders ambulation and increases stress. Elevating the head of the bed helps with breathing or aspiration prevention but isn't the primary comfort measure pain management addresses a broader need. Regular assessments ensure interventions are timely and tailored, reflecting nursing's commitment to patient-centered care.
