Question 3 of 5
The nurse has provided discharge instructions to the parent of a child who has undergone heart surgery. Which statement by the parent would indicate the need for further instruction?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The child may return to school the third week after hospital discharge, but he or she should go to school for half days for the first week. Outside play should be omitted for several weeks, with inside play allowed as tolerated. The child should avoid crowds of people for 2 weeks after discharge, including crowds at day care centers and churches. If any difficulty with breathing occurs, the parent should notify the primary health care provider.
Question 4 of 5
A goal for a postpartum client states, 'The client will remain free of infection during her hospital stay.' Which assessment data would support that the goal has been met?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Fever is the first indication of an infection.
