Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a patient who is postoperative following a mastectomy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to promote comfort? Which action promotes comfort post-mastectomy?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Elevate the affected arm. Elevating the affected arm post-mastectomy helps reduce swelling and promote lymphatic drainage, which can alleviate discomfort and promote healing. Elevating the arm also helps improve circulation and prevent complications such as lymphedema.


Choice B: Applying a heating pad to the surgical site is not recommended post-mastectomy as it can increase the risk of burns and skin irritation.


Choice C: While deep breathing exercises are beneficial postoperatively to prevent complications such as pneumonia, it does not directly promote comfort in the context of a mastectomy.


Choice D: Administering NSAIDs around the clock may help manage pain post-mastectomy, but it does not specifically address comfort or promote physical comfort promotion strategies.
