Question 1 of 5
While obtaining the vital signs of a 10-year-old child who had a tonsillectomy this morning, the nurse observes the child swallowing every 2 to 3 minutes. Which assessment should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Frequent swallowing post-tonsillectomy may indicate bleeding. Inspecting the posterior oropharynx is the priority to check for blood or bleeding sites. Teeth clenching, voice tone, or gag reflex assessments are less relevant to detecting post-operative hemorrhage.
