10-year-old child scheduled for an arterial cardiac catheterization
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to a 10-year-old child who is scheduled for an arterial cardiac catheterization. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: "You will need to keep your leg straight for 8 hours following the procedure." This is important because maintaining the leg straight helps prevent bleeding from the catheter insertion site. Keeping the leg straight for 8 hours allows the blood vessel to heal and prevents complications.
Explanation for incorrect choices:
B: Having the dressing removed 12 hours after the procedure is not accurate as the dressing is typically removed after a few hours to assess the insertion site.
C: Being on a clear liquid diet for 24 hours is not necessary for this procedure as it does not directly impact the outcome.
D: Being on bed rest for 2 days after the procedure is excessive and not recommended as early mobilization is encouraged to prevent complications.
