The nurse is providing postoperative care to a client returning from a hemorrhoidectomy. which action is the priority for the nurse to perform?

Respuesta :

The action that the nurse should prioritize is to give pain medicines and advice relating to pain control.

  • An widespread or severe case of internal or external hemorrhoids may require surgery called a hemorrhoidectomy. Although it has the highest likelihood of complications, surgical hemorrhoidectomy is the most successful treatment for hemorrhoids.
  • The surgical treatment most frequently performed to treat internal hemorrhoids is called a closed hemorrhoidectomy.
  • A sharp instrument, such as a scalpel, scissors, electrocautery, or even a laser, is used to cut out hemorrhoidal bundles, and the incision is then completely closed with absorbable suture. All three hemorrhoidal columns are often treated simultaneously. Regular sitz baths, moderate analgesics, and avoiding constipation are all part of postoperative treatment. 95% of the time, closed hemorrhoidectomy is effective.
  • Pain, delayed bleeding, urinary retention/urinary tract infection, fecal impaction, and, very infrequently, infection and wound disintegration are possible side effects.

Therefore, painkillers must be given.
