An infant following surgical repair of omphalocele
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for an infant following surgical repair of omphalocele. What is the nurse's priority?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Assess the surgical site for signs of infection. This is the priority because postoperative infections can be life-threatening, so prompt detection and intervention are crucial. Assessing for redness, warmth, swelling, or drainage at the surgical site can help in early identification of infection. Administering pain medication is important but not the priority over infection prevention. Educating parents about wound care is essential but not as urgent as monitoring for infection. Providing toys for play is not a priority in this situation as infection surveillance takes precedence.
