A nurse is teaching a group of teenage clients about the use of condoms for the prevention of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?

Choice A reason:
Notifying the client that they will receive a food tray in the recovery room is not typically a priority in preoperative education. Nutritional status post-surgery is important, but immediate postoperative care focuses on recovery from anesthesia and monitoring for complications.

Choice B reason:
Reminding the client that they will return to their room after surgery is part of routine information that may help orient the patient postoperatively. However, it is not a specific intervention that will aid in the recovery process or prevent complications.

Choice C reason:
Informing the client that the recovery nurse will instruct them on how to manage postoperative pain is important, but it is not the primary focus of preoperative education. Pain management is typically addressed both preoperatively and postoperatively.

Choice D reason:
Providing instructions on how to cough and deep breathe effectively is a critical component of preoperative education for clients undergoing abdominal surgery. Effective coughing and deep breathing exercises help prevent postoperative complications such as pneumonia and atelectasis by promoting lung expansion and secretion clearance.

Choice A reason:
Hay fever allergy, also known as allergic rhinitis, is primarily associated with the action of Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies and not directly with T-cells. T-cells can contribute to the regulation of the immune response in allergies, but IgE is the main immunoglobulin involved in the typical symptoms of hay fever.

Choice B reason:
Anaphylaxis is a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction that involves the release of large amounts of histamine and other chemicals from mast cells and basophils, often triggered by IgE antibodies. While T-cells can play a role in the sensitization phase of allergy, anaphylaxis itself is not directly caused by T-cells.

Choice C reason:
Transplant rejection is a process in which T-cells play a central role. When a transplant recipient's immune system recognizes the donated organ as foreign, T-cells can mediate the rejection by attacking the transplanted tissue, leading to its failure.

Choice D reason:
Bacterial phagocytosis is primarily the function of phagocytes like neutrophils and macrophages. T-cells are involved in the adaptive immune response and can activate phagocytes, but they do not directly perform phagocytosis.
