A nurse is planning care for a school-age child who is 4 hr postoperative following appendicitis. Which of the following actions should the nurse include in the plan of care?

A. Offering clear liquids should typically occur 6 hours or later postoperatively; in the first few hours, the focus is on monitoring and pain management. B. Administering analgesics on a scheduled basis ensures consistent pain control and helps prevent unnecessary discomfort. C. Applying a warm compress is not appropriate in the early postoperative period and may risk increased bleeding. D. Giving cromolyn nebulized solution is unrelated to appendectomy recovery and is not part of standard postoperative care.
