    A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who is postoperative following a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Correct. Leaving steris-trips on until they fall off naturally promotes wound healing and reduces the risk of infection. B. Incorrect. A high-fat diet is not recommended post-cholecystectomy; a low-fat diet is usually advised to prevent discomfort. C. Incorrect. Diarrhea is not a common or expected outcome following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. D. Incorrect. While some postoperative nausea might be expected, it should not persist for several days. Prolonged nausea may require medical attention.
