A client has undergone a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the discharge teaching?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy does not involve a bile bag, so option A is incorrect. Patients should monitor for signs of complications, such as bile-colored drainage, which could indicate a bile leak, making option B correct. Resuming normal activities immediately (C) is unsafe due to recovery needs, and avoiding pain medications (D) is unnecessary as pain management is often required.
