Child post-tonsillectomy
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is monitoring a child for manifestations of hemorrhage following a tonsillectomy. Which of the following findings is a manifestation of this postoperative complication?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Frequent swallowing. Post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage can present with frequent swallowing due to blood pooling in the mouth, causing the child to swallow frequently. This can indicate active bleeding and should be reported immediately. Mouth breathing (
A) may be due to nasal congestion or airway obstruction, not necessarily hemorrhage. Reports of pain (
C) are expected postoperatively but not specific to hemorrhage. Reports of thirst (
D) may indicate dehydration but not directly related to hemorrhage.
