Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following a cholecystectomy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Encourage the client to ambulate within 4 hours. This is important post-cholecystectomy to prevent complications like atelectasis and thromboembolism. Early ambulation promotes circulation, prevents blood clots, and aids in bowel function.
Choice B is incorrect as morphine should be administered as needed for pain, not on a fixed schedule.
Choice C is incorrect as a supine position with legs elevated can increase the risk of venous stasis and thromboembolism.
Choice D is incorrect as a high-fat meal can exacerbate postoperative symptoms and delay recovery.
