A client with arterial insufficiency undergoes below-knee amputation of the right leg. Which action should the nurse include in the postoperative care plan? a)Applying heat to the stump as the client desires b)Maintaining the client on complete bed rest c)Removing the pressure dressing after the first 8 hours d)Elevating the stump for the first 24 hours

d Stump elevation for the first 24 hours after surgery helps reduce edema and pain by increasing venous return and decreasing venous pooling at the distal portion of the extremity.

The initial pressure dressing usually remains in place for 48 to 72 hours after surgery.
