A client with a diagnosis of a bleeding gastric ulcer goes to the operating room for a partial gastrectomy. Postoperative nursing care would include
A．administering pain medications every 6 hours.
B．withholding fluids by mouth until the return of peristalsis.
C．positioning the client in high Fowler position.
D．flushing the nasogastric (NG) tube with sterile water.
参考答案：B
解析：Postoperatively, the client should have nothing by mouth until peristaltic activity returns, to decrease the risk of abdominal distention and obstruction. The client will probably require pain medication more often then every 6 hours. The client should be positioned for comfort (not necessarily the high Fowler position). The NG tube isn't flushed, to avoid disturbing the suture line.
