Question 1 of 5

What information should the nurse provide a client who has undergone cryosurgery for stage 1A cervical cancer?

A. Expect heavy, watery vaginal discharge for 3 to 6 weeks. B. Use a tampon instead of a sanitary napkin. C. Report any severe cramping immediately. D. Avoid sexual intercourse for 3 to 6 weeks.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: After cryosurgery for stage 1A cervical cancer, clients should avoid sexual intercourse for 3 to 6 weeks to reduce the risk of infection. Heavy, watery vaginal discharge is expected but not the focus of post-procedure instructions. Using tampons is contraindicated as they can introduce bacteria into the healing cervix. While reporting severe cramping is important, avoiding sexual intercourse is the priority to prevent complications.
