Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following a total knee replacement. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Inability to flex the knee. This finding should be reported to the provider because it could indicate a complication such as joint stiffness or nerve damage post knee replacement surgery. The inability to flex the knee could impede the client's recovery process and mobility. Reporting this to the provider promptly can help address the issue early on.
A: Mild swelling at the incision site is common postoperatively and usually resolves on its own.
B: Pain controlled with analgesics is expected postoperatively and does not indicate a complication.
D: A temperature of 37°C (98.6°F) is within normal range and not concerning in this context.
