ATI Pediatrics Exam 4 | Nurselytic

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Encourage play and activity. This intervention should be questioned by the nurse because after a cardiac catheterization procedure, the child should have limited physical activity to prevent complications such as bleeding or disruption at the catheter site. Encouraging play and activity could increase the risk of injury or dislodging the catheter.

A: Putting pressure above the catheter site for first signs of bleeding is correct as it helps control bleeding.
B: Regularly check the pulses and temperature of the affected extremity is correct to monitor for any signs of complications.
D: Encouraging the parents to ambulate with the child after the procedure is correct to prevent blood clots and promote circulation.
E: Monitor cardiac function and oxygen saturation is correct to ensure the child's cardiovascular stability.
