A client returns to the surgical unit following a right modified radical mastectomy with dissection of axillary lymph nodes. An appropriate nursing intervention in the postoperative care for the client includes:

A. Warfarin is an anticoagulant used to prevent blood clots. While it may be prescribed for certain patients at risk for stroke, it is not typically the first-line medication for managing TIA or hyperlipidemia. It is more often used in patients with specific types of atrial fibrillation or mechanical heart valves.
B. Simethicone is an anti-foaming agent used to relieve gas and bloating. It does not have any role in managing hyperlipidemia or preventing strokes. Thus, this option is not relevant to the client's condition.
C. Simvastatin is a statin medication used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, including stroke. For a client with hyperlipidemia and a history of TIA, simvastatin would be an appropriate medication to help manage cholesterol and decrease the risk of future ischemic events.
D. Enoxaparin is a low-molecular-weight heparin used for anticoagulation, often in the context of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. It may not be the first choice for TIA management. While it has its uses in preventing clot formation, it is not the standard treatment for a patient who has had a TIA.

A. Aspirin can increase the risk of bleeding and is typically contraindicated in patients who have undergone procedures like bone marrow aspiration. Instead, acetaminophen may be recommended for pain relief, as it does not have blood-thinning effects.
B. After a bone marrow aspiration, the donor is typically advised to lie flat or in a comfortable position to minimize discomfort and reduce the risk of bleeding. High Fowler's position may not provide the necessary comfort or support needed post-procedure.
C. Applying direct pressure to the puncture site is a critical intervention to minimize bleeding and promote clotting at the site of the aspiration. The nurse should apply pressure for a sufficient amount of time as per protocol.
D. Monitoring vital signs is important after any invasive procedure to detect any complications early, such as bleeding or signs of shock. Documenting vital signs also ensures continuity of care.
E. This choice is not applicable immediately after bone marrow aspiration for a donor. Neutropenic precautions are typically implemented for patients who have low white blood cell counts due to chemotherapy or other conditions. Bone marrow donors do not require these precautions immediately after donation unless there is a specific concern for infection or a significant drop in white blood cell counts.
