The nurse completes postop teaching for a client scheduled for a total abdominal hysterectomy. Which statement, if made by the c
lient to the nurse, indicates the need for further teaching? 1 ."I will call my doctor if I have a temperature greater than 100.0°F (37.7°C)."
2. "I will use sanitary pads until the bleeding stops."
3. "I will report any problems with urination to my nurse as soon as possible."
4. "I will avoid any activity for the first 24 to 48 hours after my surgery."
Answer: if the client says that " I will use sanitary pads until the bleeding stops". He should be more instructions because sanitary pads should be used even after the bleeding stops because bleeding might occur again due to any reason like something might hit the area of surgery that might cause bleeding. Moreover as that area is uncovered it might get infected by bacteria as person is already weak at that time. So the wound should be kept covered until it heels completely.
