Bone Marrow Aspiration
Bone Marrow Aspiration ( 35 Questions)
A patient underwent a bone marrow aspiration as part of a diagnostic evaluation. What post-procedure care should the nurse prioritize to prevent infection?
Administering intravenous antibiotics for 24 hours post-procedure is not a standard practice for routine bone marrow aspirations unless specifically indicated by the healthcare provider due to the patient's medical history or risk factors.
Strict isolation precautions are not necessary after a bone marrow aspiration, as the procedure is typically performed in a sterile environment and does not pose an infectious risk to others.
To prevent infection, the nurse should prioritize keeping the aspiration site clean and dry with sterile dressings. This reduces the risk of contamination and promotes wound healing.
While proper nutrition is important for overall recovery, consuming a high-protein diet is not directly related to preventing infection after a bone marrow aspiration.
