Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing a client who is postoperative following a below-the-knee amputation for a leg prosthesis fitting. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Wrap the stump with an elastic bandage in a figure-eight configuration. This action helps reduce swelling, provide support, and shape the stump for prosthesis fitting. Wrapping in a figure-eight pattern ensures even compression and prevents constriction.
Choice B is incorrect as frequent re-wrapping can disrupt wound healing.
Choice C is unnecessary and may cause discomfort.
Choice D is incorrect as securing the bandage at the lowest joint can lead to constriction and hinder circulation.
