A Deep breathing and coughing exercises place additional stress on the suture line and cause discomfort. Splinting the incision with hands or a pillow provides firm support and reduces incisional pulling.
B Keeping the patient flat will not decrease discomfort in the incisional area when the patient coughs. Having the patient bend his or her knees slightly will aid in relaxing the abdominal muscles, causing less discomfort.
C Turning the patient onto the right side will not decrease discomfort in the incisional area when the patient coughs. The patient should turn from side to side at least every two hours and may splint the incision to decrease discomfort when doing so.
D Applying pressure above and below the incision is not the correct measure. Splinting should be done directly over the incision to provide firm support and reduce incisional pulling as the patient coughs postoperatively.
