Question 1 of 5

The nurse is caring for a client who is scheduled to have a thyroidectomy and provides instructions to the client about the surgical procedure. Which statement by the client indicates an understanding of the nurse's instructions?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: One way of reducing incisional tension is to teach the client how to support the neck when coughing or being repositioned. The removal of the thyroid does not mean that the client will be taking antithyroid medications postoperatively. The client is taught that after thyroidectomy tension needs to be avoided on the suture line because hemorrhage may develop. Likewise, during the postoperative period, the client should avoid any unnecessary movement of the neck; that is why sandbags and pillows are frequently used to support the head and neck. If a client experiences tingling in the fingers, toes, and lips, it is probably a result of injury to the parathyroid gland during surgery, resulting in hypocalcemia. These signs and symptoms need to be reported immediately.
