The nurse is providing discharge instructions to the parents of a 2-year-old child who had an orchiopexy to correct cryptorchidism. Which statement by the parents indicate that further teaching is necessary?

A. Monitor the client's hemoglobin level: Monitoring the client's hemoglobin level is not relevant during a seizure. Seizures typically do not directly affect hemoglobin levels, so this action is not appropriate.

B. Restrain the client's extremities: Restraint is generally not recommended during a seizure unless absolutely necessary for the safety of the client or others. Restraint can potentially cause injury to the client and increase agitation during the seizure.

C. Place the client in a prone position: Placing the client in a prone (face-down) position during a seizure is not recommended. This position may increase the risk of airway obstruction and compromise the client's ability to breathe effectively.

D. Record the time and length of the seizure: This is the correct answer. During a seizure, the nurse should prioritize ensuring the safety of the client and others. After ensuring safety, the nurse should document important details about the seizure, including the time it began and ended, as well as any observed symptoms or behaviors. This documentation can provide valuable information for the client's healthcare team and help guide future treatment decisions.

A. "You will need to take the entire prescription of antibiotics even if your symptoms improve."

Atopic dermatitis is not typically treated with antibiotics, as it is not caused by a bacterial infection. Therefore, this statement is not relevant and would not be included in the teaching.

B. "The doctor will remove the lesions with liquid nitrogen."

Liquid nitrogen is not typically used to remove lesions associated with atopic dermatitis. Atopic dermatitis lesions are usually managed with topical treatments and other measures to reduce inflammation and itching. Therefore, this statement is not accurate and would not be included in the teaching.

C. "The doctor might recommend an antihistamine to help control your symptoms."

Antihistamines may be prescribed to help relieve itching associated with atopic dermatitis. Itching is a common symptom of atopic dermatitis, and antihistamines can help reduce this symptom. Therefore, this statement is relevant and would be included in the teaching.

D. "You can relieve your child's discomfort by applying warm compresses to the lesions."

Warm compresses can exacerbate itching associated with atopic dermatitis by increasing blood flow.
