Question

a client is being caring for after a nephrectomy. because of the incisional pain and restricted positioning, the client frequently suffers from breathing difficulty. which measures should the nurse include in the care plan to relieve this distress? select all that apply.

Answer 1

The patient has just done a nephrectomy and frequently suffers from breathing difficulty. There are some things the nurse should include in the care plan for the patient:

• Provide firm support for the incision when the patient coughs.
• Instruct and help the patient to breathe deeply and cough every two hours.
• Auscultate lung sounds, preferably every shift.

Nephrectomy is the surgical removal of a kidney, either all or just a part of the organ. This major surgical procedure is used to treat kidney diseases (such as kidney cancer), or to remove a healthy kidney from a kidney donor for a kidney transplant.
