A nurse is performing an assessment for a 5-year-old child who has celiac disease. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

A. "Encourage your child to drink liquids through a straw." Using a straw can create negative pressure that may dislodge clots at the surgical site, increasing the risk of bleeding. Therefore, this is not recommended.

B. "Notify the provider if your child is swallowing frequently." Frequent swallowing can be a sign of bleeding at the surgical site. It’s important to monitor for this as it may indicate that the child is swallowing blood, which could lead to serious complications.

C. "Encourage your child to clear their throat as needed." Clearing the throat can cause irritation and increase the risk of bleeding at the surgical site. It is generally advised to avoid actions that might disturb the surgical site.

D. "Notify the provider if your child has dark brown blood between their teeth." Dark brown blood can indicate old blood which is less concerning than bright red blood. However, any bleeding should be monitored, and bright red blood is of particular concern. The more immediate issue is frequent swallowing as it indicates active bleeding

A. Hypotension: Hypotension is not a common adverse effect of cefazolin. While severe allergic reactions can cause hypotension, it is not a typical side effect to monitor for with cefazolin specifically.

B. Stevens-Johnson syndrome: Correct. Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a rare but serious adverse effect of many antibiotics, including cefazolin. SJS is a severe skin reaction that requires immediate medical attention.

C. Prolonged wound healing: Cefazolin is an antibiotic and would not typically cause prolonged wound healing; instead, it is used to prevent or treat infections that might impair healing.

D. Bradypnea: Bradypnea is not associated with cefazolin. Respiratory depression is not a common side effect of this antibiotic.
