    A nurse is providing education to the parents of a toddler who is being discharged after an orchiopexy procedure. Which of the following statements indicates an understanding of the teaching?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. "I won't let them use a toy that is straddled for 2 weeks." This is a correct restriction to prevent strain on the surgical area. B. "I can let them resume all of their physical activities." This is likely not true. Activity restrictions might be necessary for healing. C. "I'm happy they are no longer at risk of fertility issues when they are older." While orchiopexy can improve the chance of future fertility, it's not a guarantee. D. "They won't need any pain medications at home." Pain medication might be prescribed for post-surgical discomfort.
