Question 1 of 5
The nurse notices that a child is spitting up small amounts of blood in the immediate postoperative period after a tonsillectomy. What would be the best intervention?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Continue to assess for bleeding. After a tonsillectomy, it is normal for a child to have some minor bleeding. By continuing to assess for bleeding, the nurse can monitor the situation closely for any signs of worsening bleeding. Notifying the healthcare provider immediately (
A) may be premature if the bleeding is minimal. Encouraging the child to cough (
C) or suctioning the back of the throat (
D) could aggravate the bleeding. The best initial action is to closely monitor and assess the situation before escalating the intervention.
