Preschool-age child postoperative following a tonsillectomy


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a preschool-age child who is postoperative following a tonsillectomy and is clearing her throat frequently. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Observe the child's throat with a flashlight. This is the first action the nurse should take because the child's frequent throat clearing may indicate bleeding, which is a common complication post-tonsillectomy and requires immediate attention. Administering water (choice
A) may worsen bleeding if present. Administering an analgesic (choice
B) is not the priority as the child's throat clearing is a more urgent issue. Offering an ice collar (choice
D) may not address the potential bleeding. Observing the child's throat with a flashlight (choice
C) allows the nurse to assess for any signs of bleeding and take appropriate action promptly.
