Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a school-age child who is 4 hr postoperative following appendicitis. Which of the following actions should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Administer analgesics on a scheduled basis for the first 24 hr. Postoperative pain management is crucial for a child recovering from surgery. By administering analgesics on a scheduled basis, the nurse ensures that the child's pain is effectively managed, promoting comfort and facilitating recovery. Cromolyn nebulized solution (choice
A) is not indicated for pain management post-appendectomy. Applying a warm compress once daily (choice
C) may not provide adequate pain relief. Offering small amounts of clear liquids 6 hr following surgery (choice
D) is important for hydration but does not address pain management directly in the immediate postoperative period.
