The Nurse Caring for a Child Who Has Had a Heart

The nurse caring for a child who has had a heart catheterization is aware that the child's activity level is:

A) unrestricted because this is a minor procedure
B) restricted to being up and about with no exercise, lifting, or other activity, which would increase heart rate
C) restricted to sitting in a chair for 4 hours after the procedure
D) bed rest with the affected extremity straight for 4 to 8 hours, subject to hospital policy and physician's orders
