Question 25 :

A client is diagnosed with acute cholecystitis and is scheduled for a cholecystectomy. The client asks the nurse about the benefits of laparoscopic surgery compared to open surgery. Which of the following responses should the nurse provide?

A "Laparoscopic surgery involves a smaller incision, resulting in less postoperative pain and a shorter hospital stay."

This statement is correct. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy involves making several small incisions, resulting in less postoperative pain, reduced scarring, and a shorter hospital stay compared to open surgery.

B "Open surgery is preferred for cholecystitis as it allows for better visualization and reduces the risk of surgical complications."

Open surgery may have advantages in certain situations, but for uncomplicated cases of acute cholecystitis, laparoscopic surgery is generally preferred due to its minimally invasive nature.

C "Both laparoscopic and open surgeries have similar outcomes, but laparoscopic surgery has a longer recovery time."

Laparoscopic surgery is associated with a shorter recovery time and faster return to normal activities compared to open surgery.

D "You can choose either type of surgery, but laparoscopic surgery is associated with a higher risk of postoperative infection."

Laparoscopic surgery is not associated with a higher risk of postoperative infection. In fact, it is known for having lower rates of surgical site infections compared to open surgery.
