The nurse is providing postoperative care for an adolescent who had an amputation of the left leg for osteosarcoma. The adolescent describes experiencing phantom limb pain. Which non pharmacological intervention should the nurse provide?

A. Guide in moving the non-affected limb to override the sensation being experienced. Encouraging movement of the non-affected limb may not effectively address phantom limb pain and could potentially exacerbate discomfort or distress. B. Reassure that this can be a normal postsurgical sensation. Phantom limb pain is a common phenomenon after amputation surgeries. Providing reassurance that this sensation is normal can help alleviate anxiety and provide comfort to the adolescent. C. Affirm that a prosthetic with physical therapy will gradually improve the symptoms. While a prosthetic limb and physical therapy can help in the long term, they may not immediately address the phantom limb pain experienced in the early postoperative period. D. Explain that the sensations of tingling and pain are not real. Invalidating the adolescent's experience of phantom limb pain by suggesting that the sensations are not real may worsen distress and anxiety. It's essential to acknowledge the client's experience and provide supportive care.
