A nurse is caring for an infant post operative closure of a myelomeningocele.
Question 1 of 5
Which intervention is essential for providing basic care and comfort following myelomeningocele sac closure?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Following myelomeningocele sac closure, frequent diaper changes and keeping the incision site clean and dry are essential for preventing infection and promoting healing. This intervention helps to reduce the risk of complications such as wound breakdown and infection. Avoiding oral feedings for the first 24 hours (option
A) is not necessary unless specifically ordered by the healthcare provider. Applying direct pressure to the surgical site if bleeding occurs (option
B) can disrupt the healing process and should be avoided. Allowing the infant to lie flat on their back to promote spinal alignment (option
D) is not recommended immediately after surgery as it can put pressure on the incision site.
