Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing discharge instructions to the parent of a 10-year-old child following a cardiac catheterization. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Give the child acetaminophen for discomfort. After cardiac catheterization, the child may experience discomfort or pain at the catheter insertion site. Acetaminophen can help alleviate this discomfort.
B: Assisting the child to take a tub bath for the first 3 days may increase the risk of infection at the catheter site.
C: Keeping the child home for 1 week is not necessary unless there are specific complications.
D: Offering clear liquids for the first 24 hr is not related to post-cardiac catheterization care.
In summary, choice A is correct as it addresses the potential discomfort following the procedure, while the other choices are incorrect as they do not directly relate to the child's post-catheterization care.
