A nurse is reinforcing discharge teaching about postpartum activity restrictions to a client who had a cesarean birth 2 days ago. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?

Rationale: A. "I should be able to follow my normal routine after the staples are removed from my incision.” Normal activities should be resumed gradually; simply removing staples does not mean the incision and abdominal muscles have fully healed. B. "I will ask my partner to perform household chores until my incision is healed." Delegating strenuous tasks supports proper healing and prevents strain on the incision site, reflecting appropriate understanding of postpartum activity restrictions. C. "I will wait 4 to 6 weeks to perform kegel exercises." Kegel exercises can usually begin soon after delivery to strengthen pelvic floor muscles and are not delayed for several weeks unless specifically advised. D. "I will maintain modified bed rest for the first 48 to 72 hours at home." While initial rest is important, prolonged bed rest can increase the risk of complications like blood clots. Gradual ambulation is encouraged to promote circulation and recovery.
