RN Comprehensive Predictor 2026 Proctored Exam V2
A charge nurse is teaching newly licensed nurses about postoperative procedures following abdominal surgery. Which of the following information should the charge nurse include?
Explanation & Rationale
Dressing saturation with blood is abnormal and indicates hemorrhage — this must be reported to the provider immediately. A palpable distended bladder indicates urinary retention, which is a complication requiring intervention. Early ambulation is encouraged — keeping the client supine for 24 hours increases DVT and pneumonia risk. Adequate urinary output is at least 30 mL/hr in adults, not 20 mL/hr.
