Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a child who is postoperative following a tonsillectomy. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as the priority?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Frequent swallowing. This is the priority finding as it could indicate bleeding after tonsillectomy, which is a potential complication requiring immediate attention. Dark brown emesis (choice
B) could also indicate bleeding but is less specific. Sore throat (choice
A) is expected post-operatively. Blood-tinged mucus (choice
C) can be common after tonsillectomy.
Therefore, the priority is to assess for signs of bleeding, which is most indicative by frequent swallowing.
