pulse rate is increased. As the nurse continues the

amount of bright-red blood. The nurse should take
which immediate action?
A. Notify the surgeon Correct
B. Continue the assessment
, C. Check the client’s blood pressure
D. Obtain a flashlight, gauze, and a curved
hemostat
Rationale: Hemorrhage is a potential complication after tonsillectomy and
adenoidectomy. If the client vomits a large amount of bright-red blood or the
pulse rate increases and the patient is restless, the nurse must notify the
surgeon immediately. The nurse should obtain a light, mirror, gauze, curved
hemostat, and waste basin to facilitate examination of the surgical site. The
nurse should also gather additional assessment data, but the surgeon must be
contacted immediately.

that the presence of bright-red blood indicates active bleeding. Review the
nursing actions to be taken immediately when bleeding occurs after a
tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy
