Question 1 of 5

A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a client who is postoperative following a fasciotomy. Which of the following interventions should the nurse plan to include?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Post-fasciotomy care focuses on pain management, wound healing, and monitoring for complications like infection or compartment syndrome recurrence, not dietary or reproductive restrictions. Offering small, frequent meals supports nutritional needs without overloading the stomach, aiding recovery by maintaining energy for tissue repair, especially if appetite is reduced from pain or medications. A pureed diet is unnecessary unless swallowing is impaired, which isn't indicated here fasciotomy addresses limb pressure, not GI issues. Assisting to the restroom post-meals relates to bowel training, irrelevant to this surgical context. Avoiding sexual intercourse applies to pelvic procedures like colposcopy, not a limb fasciotomy. Small, frequent meals align with postoperative principles, promoting healing and comfort, making it the most relevant intervention for this client's plan of care, enhancing overall recovery without complicating the surgical focus.
