• 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"

• C) The client exhibits facial grimacing
• D) The client reports pain
Correct ,,,,answer,,,: D

reliable indicator of pain. Objective signs like tachycardia, guarding, and grimacing
may indicate pain but are not as definitive as the client's verbal report.

some children, and the prone position risks aspiration.
