Preschooler postoperative following a tonsillectomy
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a preschooler who is postoperative following a tonsillectomy. The child is now ready to resume oral intake. Which of the following dietary choices should the nurse offer the child?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Sugar-free cherry gelatin. This choice is appropriate because it is a clear, non-acidic, and cold food, which can help soothe the child's throat post-tonsillectomy. Clear liquids are recommended initially to prevent trauma to the surgical site. Chocolate milk (
A) contains dairy and may be too thick, potentially causing discomfort. Vanilla ice cream (
B) is dairy-based and may be too cold and thick. Lime-flavored ice pop (
D) is acidic and may irritate the surgical site.
