Extract:

A nurse is caring for a preschool-age child who is postoperative following a tonsillectomy and is clearing her throat frequently.


Question 1 of 5

Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Observe the child's throat with a flashlight. This is the first action the nurse should take as it helps assess for any signs of inflammation, infection, or obstruction in the throat, which could be causing the child's symptoms. By observing the throat, the nurse can gather important information to guide further interventions.


Choice B: Giving the child small sips of water can be important but should come after assessing the throat to ensure it is safe to swallow.
Choice C: Administering an analgesic should be based on the assessment findings, not the first action.
Choice D: Offering an ice collar is not indicated until the cause of the symptoms is identified.
