,1. A nurse is providing preoperative teaching for an adolescent who is scheduled for a
cardiac catheterization. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
a) "You can resume a regular diet 3 days after your procedure"
b) "You can take a shower 1 day after your procedure"
c) "You can begin exercising 2 days after your procedure"
d) "You can return to school 1 week after your procedure"
Correct Answer: d) "You can return to school 1 week after your procedure"
Expert Rationale: Returning to school approximately 1 week after a cardiac
catheterization allows adequate time for the insertion site to heal and for the adolescent
to regain strength. Resumption of diet and activity is typically sooner and individualized,
but school attendance requires safety and energy readiness. Early strenuous activity or
hygiene methods should be based on physician instructions.
