Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following a lumbar laminectomy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to promote comfort?

Correct Answer: A

This position helps relieve pressure on the surgical site, promotes proper alignment of the spine, and reduces strain on the incision site. Side-lying position also aids in preventing complications such as blood clots and pressure ulcers. Placing a pillow under the client's head (
B) is a common comfort measure but may not directly promote comfort post-lumbar laminectomy. Encouraging the client to sit up every 2 hours (
C) can increase strain on the incision site and is not recommended immediately postoperatively. Applying a heating pad to the lower back (
