Integrated Process
The student nurse is listening to an orthopedic lecture on preoperative education and knee surgeries. Which statement by the student nurse indicates that the teaching has been effective?
Explanation
ExplanationIt is best to assess crutch-walking ability and instruct the client with regard to the use of the crutches before surgery because this task can be difficult to learn when the client is in pain and not used to the imbalance that may occur after surgery. None of the remaining options are appropriate times to teach a client about crutch walking.
