A nurse is contributing to the plan of care of a 14-month old toddler who is 24 hr postoperative following a cleft palate repair. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan.

A. Suction the toddler's nose and mouth every hour: Suctioning can damage surgical sites and should be avoided. B. Give the toddler a hard-tipped sippy cup to drink liquids: Hard-tipped sippy cups can disrupt the surgical repair. Use alternative feeding methods. C. Provide soft foods for the toddler: The child should only receive liquids postoperatively to prevent injury to the repair. D. Maintain elbow restraints on the toddler: Elbow restraints prevent the toddler from putting their hands in their mouth or disrupting the surgical site.
