The Nurse Provides Discharge Instructions to a Patient with an Above-The-Knee

The nurse provides discharge instructions to a patient with an above-the-knee amputation who will be fitted with a prosthesis when healing is complete and the residual limb is well molded. The nurse determines that teaching has been effective when the patient says,

A) "I should change the limb sock when it becomes soiled or stretched out."
B) "I should use lotion on the stump to prevent drying and cracking of the skin."
C) "I should elevate my residual limb on a pillow 2 or 3 times a day."
D) "I should lay on my abdomen for 30 minutes 3 or 4 times a day."
