Assess puncture sites for bleeding
The one to four puncture sites used to perform the surgery laparoscopically
should be monitored for any possible bleeding. There will not be an
abdominal dressing unless a traditional cholecystectomy is performed.
Patient-controlled analgesia is not necessary as there is no abdominal
incision. Activity restriction is about one week with a laparoscopic
cholecystectomy.

"Are you having difficulty sleeping?"
, 2
"Do feel like your gums are inflamed?"

Correct 4
"Have you noticed any change in your appetite?"
Problems involving the oral cavity often result in nutritional problems and
weight loss, requiring the nurse to intervene. The question "Have you noticed
any change in your appetite?" will elicit more information. The nurse needs to
determine a client's past and current appetite and nutritional status. An
inability to sleep usually is not a characteristic symptom of cancer of the oral
cavity; it may occur after the diagnosis because of worry or fear. Gum
infections usually are not an early problem after diagnosis of oral cancer.
Although a dentist correct answer -a
A client who had a laparoscopic cholecystectomy reports pain in the shoulder.
In what position should the nurse place the client?
1
Prone

Correct 3

Trendelenburg
Retained carbon dioxide can irritate the phrenic nerve. Placing the client in
the left Sims position helps to move the gas pocket away from the diaphragm.
Deep breathing and ambulation should be encouraged. Prone, supine, and
Trendelenburg positions will not help to alleviate the problem but could
aggravate the problem.
Test-Taking Tip: On a test day, eat a normal meal before going to school. If the
test is late in the morning, take a high-powered snack with you to eat 20
minutes before the examination. The brain works best when it has the glucose
necessary for cellular function.
