Question 1 of 5
The LPN is caring for a 32-year-old female client who is 8 hours post-op after a tonsillectomy. Which of these would be an appropriate action taken by the nurse?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Referred pain in the ear is normal after a tonsillectomy because of related nerve pathways. Vitals should be monitored every 15 minutes in the immediate postoperative period and then every 4 hours thereafter. Straws and hot beverages should be avoided as they may irritate the throat and disturb healing.
