A nurse is providing discharge instructions to the parent of a 10-year-old client following cardiac catheterization. Which instruction should the nurse include in the teaching?

A. Acetaminophen can be used to manage mild discomfort after cardiac catheterization. It is a safe option for pain relief and is commonly recommended for children following the procedure. B. Bed rest is typically recommended for a shorter duration, often 24 hours, not a full week. Extended bed rest is not usually required unless complications occur. C. The diet should be advanced as tolerated, but there is no specific requirement to wait 24 hours; this will depend on the child’s recovery and tolerance. D. Bathing recommendations often include avoiding submerging the site in water, so a tub bath may not be advised for the first few days to prevent infection. Sponge baths might be recommended instead.
