Question 2
The nurse is doing discharge teaching for a child who has had a tonsillectomy. The nurse tells the patient and family that the child should have plenty of fluids. In addition, the nurse would explain to the child's caregiver that the child may:
A) have a painful earache around the third day postoperatively, but it will be gone by the fourth day.
B) vomit dark, old blood, but to call the clinic if he has bleeding between the fifth and seventh days postoperatively.
C) be given ice cream and milk the first postoperative day because they make swallowing easier.
D) have severe throat pain for up to 2 weeks postoperatively; this is not a concern.
