A. Level of fluid intake: While monitoring fluid intake is important, bowel sounds are more critical immediately after surgery to detect potential paralytic ileus or other complications.

B. Keep the bed flat: Postoperative positioning depends on the type of surgery and is not universally necessary.

C. Position on the left side: There is no specific need to position the patient on the left side postoperatively unless otherwise indicated.

D. Bowel sounds: Assessing bowel sounds is crucial to monitor for postoperative complications such as ileus.

A. Leaving the nephrostomy site open to air: The nephrostomy site should be covered with a sterile dressing to prevent infection.

B. Instilling no more than 50 mL of sterile water if sterile irrigations are ordered: Irrigation should be done with care, and no more than 5-10 mL of sterile solution is typically instilled to avoid kidney damage.

C. Clamping every 2 hours to allow expansion of the kidney pelvis: Clamping the nephrostomy tube is contraindicated as it can lead to increased pressure in the kidney, worsening the obstruction and potentially causing damage.

D. Being certain the tube is connected, not kinked, or not clamped to ensure that it continually drains: Ensuring the tube remains patent and continuously drains is essential to avoid complications such as hydronephrosis or infection.
