A 3-year-old male is being discharged after surgical correction of cryptorchidism. Which postoperative instruction is most important for the practical nurse (PN) to re-emphasize to the parents about the child's activities at home?

A. Extending progressive ambulation over one week is important but not the most critical instruction. Postoperative mobility is generally encouraged in a gradual manner, but it is not as urgent as managing specific activity restrictions. B. Notifying the clinic if the child begins bedwetting is not typically a primary concern immediately following surgery for cryptorchidism. Bedwetting is not directly related to the surgical procedure or its common postoperative concerns. C. Restricting the child from playing on riding toys is the most important instruction for preventing complications. Riding toys can be a safety risk due to potential trauma to the surgical site and could cause harm during the recovery period. D. Supervising toileting to prevent picking at sutures is relevant but less critical compared to the need to restrict potentially harmful activities. While important, it is a secondary concern compared to overall activity restrictions.
