    A nurse on a postpartum unit is giving discharge instructions to a client whose newborn had a circumcision with a Plastibell technique. Which of the following client statements indicates an understanding of circumcision care? (Select All that Apply.)

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. "I'll call the doctor if I see any bleeding." → Any signs of active bleeding (more than a few drops) should be reported. B. "I'll make sure his diaper is loose in the front." → Tight diapers can cause irritation and disrupt healing. C. "I'll expect the plastic ring to fall off by itself within a week." → The Plastibell usually detaches in 5-7 days. D. Incorrect → The ring does NOT fall off within 24 hours; it typically takes a week. E. Incorrect → Alcohol swabs should NOT be used as they can cause irritation. Cleaning should be done with warm water only.
