Preschool-age child in the immediate postoperative period following a tonsillectomy


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a preschool-age child who is in the immediate postoperative period following a tonsillectomy. Which of the following assessment findings is the priority?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: The child swallows frequently. This is the priority assessment finding because it could indicate postoperative bleeding, a potentially life-threatening complication after a tonsillectomy. Swallowing frequently may suggest blood pooling in the throat, leading to the need for prompt intervention to prevent further complications. Crying often (
A), refusing clear liquids (
B), and increased throat pain (
C) are common postoperative symptoms that can be managed with appropriate interventions.
Therefore, they are not as urgent as the possibility of postoperative bleeding indicated by frequent swallowing.
