Question 1 of 5
For each potential provider's prescription, click to specify if the potential prescription is anticipated or contraindicated for the client.
| Options | Anticipated | Contraindicated |
|---|---|---|
| Applying warm compresses to the incision site. | ||
| Maintaining bed rest for 2 days postoperatively. | ||
| Irrigating indwelling urinary catheter with 50 mL of normal saline. | ||
| Administering enema to relieve constipation. | ||
| Placing a blanket roll under the client's knees while in bed. |
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Applying warm compresses to the incision site is anticipated for the client, as it can help reduce swelling and pain.
Choice B is contraindicated as it increases the risk of complications like deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and pneumonia; early ambulation is preferred.
Choice C is contraindicated because irrigating the catheter can introduce bacteria, risking infection, unless specifically ordered.
Choice D is contraindicated as an enema can increase pelvic pressure, risking bleeding or surgical site damage; stool softeners or laxatives are safer.
Choice E is contraindicated as it impairs circulation, increasing the risk of thrombophlebitis; legs should be slightly elevated without knee flexion.
