A) Appropriate nursing actions when providing care to a client who gave birth by cesarean section includes encouraging coughing and deep breathing every 2 hours until the client is able to ambulate and assessing the client hourly while receiving a continuous epidural infusion. The client will not have an episiotomy after a cesarean birth; however, the nurse would monitor the abdominal incision. The nurse would monitor bowel sounds but the frequency is every 4 hours, not every 8 hours. The nurse would encourage the client to lie on the left side, not the right side, to promote the passing of gas.
