A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the parents of a preschooler who has atopic dermatitis. Which of the following information should the nurse include?

A. "I give him medication so he'll be comfortable."

- This statement indicates that the parents are providing medication to ensure the child's comfort after the procedure, which is an appropriate action. It suggests that the parents are attentive to the child's needs postoperatively.

B. "I check his voiding to be sure there's no problem."

- Checking the child's voiding is important postoperatively to ensure there are no urinary retention issues or other complications related to urination. This statement reflects appropriate postoperative care and monitoring.

C. "I check his temperature."

- Monitoring the child's temperature is also a good practice postoperatively to watch for signs of infection or other complications. This statement indicates that the parents are attentive to signs of potential postoperative issues.

D. “I’ll let him decide when to return to his play activities."

- This statement suggests that the parents plan to let the child decide when to resume play activities after the surgery. However, after a surgical procedure like orchiopexy, it's important for parents to follow specific guidelines provided by healthcare providers regarding activity restrictions and return to normal activities. Allowing the child to decide may not align with the recommended postoperative care plan.
