Answer:
Answer is option B - "I should shower rather than take a tub bath."
Explanation:
Abdominal hysterectomy is the surgical removal of a part or all of the uterus by making an incision in the lower abdomen. After the surgery, the patient normally spends 2 - 5 days in the hospital and takes at least 4 - 6 weeks to get completely better. Some of the major discharge instructions are;
- Drink enough water and eat smaller meals that are rich in proteins and fiber and plenty of fruits and vegetables daily. This helps with the healing process and prevents constipation.
- Avoid swimming or taking a tub bath, but can take showers.
- Dressings over the incision should be removed daily and keep the wound area clean.
- Avoid inserting anything such as tampons into the vagina for 6 weeks after the surgery.
- Avoid all heavy activity including strenuous household activities, weightlifting, and other strenuous exercises. Short walking and light household chores can be done.
- Avoid driving if the patient is taking narcotic pain-relieving medicines. Long trips in vehicles or airplanes are not recommended for 4 weeks after the surgery.
