Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a toddler who is 24 hr postoperative following a cleft palate repair. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Apply bilateral wrist restraints. After cleft palate repair, the toddler should not be allowed to touch or manipulate the surgical site to prevent disruption of sutures or injury. Wrist restraints are necessary to ensure the toddler's safety and promote optimal healing. Administering opioids for pain (
A) is important but not the priority in this scenario. Implementing a soft diet (
C) and offering fluids through a straw (
D) are appropriate postoperative care but do not address the risk of injury to the surgical site.
