Keeping the clients knee bent is unnecessary.Option B: By the time the client returns to the short-procedure unit. manual pressure over the puncture site is no longer needed because a pressure dressing is in place.Option D: The nurse shouldnt remove this dressing for several hours and only if instructed to do so.
