The nurse is caring for a patient diagnosed with breast cancer who just underwent an axillary lymph node dissection. What intervention should the nurse use to decrease the lymphedema? A. Keep affected arm flat at the patient’s side. B. Apply an elastic bandage on the affected arm. C. Assess blood pressure only on unaffected arm. D. Restrict exercise of the affected arm for 1 week.
C. Assess blood pressure only on unaffected arm. Blood pressure readings, venipunctures, and injections should not be done on the affected arm. Elastic bandages should not be used in the early postoperative period because they inhibit collateral lymph drainage. The affected arm should be elevated above the heart, and isometric exercises are recommended and gradually increased starting in the recovery room to reduce fluid volume in the arm.

The nurse is caring for an obese 67-year-old woman after a right mastectomy with axillary lymph node dissection. Which should the nurse include in the discharge instructions? A. “Arm exercises should not be started for 4 to 6 weeks.” B. “Discontinue arm exercises if you have discomfort or pain.” C. “Special massage therapy can decrease swelling in your arm.” D. “Keep your right arm in a sling to decrease pain and swelling.”
C. “Special massage therapy can decrease swelling in your arm.” Decongestive therapy may be used for acute lymphedema and includes a massage-like technique to mobilize the subcutaneous accumulation of fluid. Arm exercises should be performed to prevent contractures and muscle shortening, maintain muscle tone, and improve lymph and blood circulation. The arm exercises should be initiated after surgery and increased gradually. Pain medications should be administered 30 minutes before arm exercises. The operative arm should be kept at the level of the heart but not in a sling; a sling discourages use of the arm.
