ATI LPN Comprehensive Predictor 2023 Proctored Exam 3
A nurse is caring for a client who delivered a newborn by cesarean birth 1 day ago. The client requests nonpharmacological interventions to manage pain when changing positions. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Patterned-paced breathing might help with pain management, but it's not specific to changing positions. B. Correct. Splinting the incision with a pillow provides support and reduces strain when changing positions, minimizing discomfort. C. Counterpressure to the back might be helpful during contractions, but it's not specific to postoperative pain with position changes. D. While reducing position changes might be initially suggested, it's important for postoperative clients to move to prevent complications like deep vein thrombosis. Providing strategies to manage pain during position changes is more appropriate.
