Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client immediately postoperative following a below-the-knee amputation. The nurse should take which priority action?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Checking the operative site for bleeding is the priority to detect hemorrhage, a life-threatening complication in the immediate postoperative period. Elevating the stump may be contraindicated to prevent contractures, physical therapy orders are not immediate, and incentive spirometry, while important, is secondary to hemorrhage control.
