Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing discharge teaching to a client who had a cesarean birth. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Shower daily but avoid soaking in a bathtub for 2 weeks. This instruction is important to prevent infection and promote proper healing of the cesarean incision. Showering helps keep the incision clean without the risk of soaking it, which can lead to infection.
A: Avoid lifting anything heavier than 20 pounds for 6 weeks - Incorrect. Lifting heavy objects can strain the incision site and delay healing.
B: Resume sexual intercourse after 2 weeks - Incorrect. Resuming sexual activity should be discussed with the healthcare provider and typically is advised to wait longer than 2 weeks.
C: Take ibuprofen for incisional pain as needed - Incorrect. While pain management is important, specific instructions regarding incisional pain should be provided by the healthcare provider.
By following the correct instruction of showering daily but avoiding soaking in a bathtub for 2 weeks, the client can promote healing and reduce the risk of infection.
