A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following a vaginal hysterectomy and asks about returning to sexual activity. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Avoiding sexual activity for 6-8 weeks allows proper healing post-hysterectomy. Two weeks is too soon, risking complications. Waiting only until bleeding stops or feeling comfortable disregards healing timelines.
