Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who is postoperative following a craniotomy. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider immediately?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because clear drainage from the surgical site could indicate cerebrospinal fluid leak, which is a serious complication post-craniotomy. It can lead to infection or increased intracranial pressure. Reporting this finding immediately is crucial for timely intervention.
Choices B, C, and D are normal postoperative findings. A mild headache is common after a craniotomy. Pupils being equal and reactive to light indicate neurological integrity. A temperature of 37°C is within the normal range.
Choices E, F, and G are not provided, but they would be incorrect as they are not related to immediate concern post-craniotomy.
