Ati paediatrics nursing assessment proctored exam
A nurse is providing discharge teaching to the parents of a 6-month-old infant following a surgical procedure to repair hypospadias. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Explanation & Rationale
A. "Apply a dry gauze dressing twice per day." The stent or catheter site may be left open to air, or covered based on provider preference, but frequent dressing changes are not typically required. B. "Perform hourly measurements of the infant's urinary output." Hourly measurements are not necessary in a home setting. Monitoring for adequate output and signs of obstruction is sufficient. C. "Offer the infant 12 to 16 ounces of fruit juice daily." Fruit juice is not recommended in large quantities for infants and does not support surgical recovery. D. "Avoid giving the infant a tub bath until the stent is removed." Immersing in water before the stent is removed can increase the risk of infection or displacement. Sponge baths are preferred.
