The best answer for the question: Which of the following positions is used during the immediate post-operative recovery of pediatric tonsillectomy, would be, B: lateral, with a slight head-down tilt.

Explanation:

Tonsillectomy, is the surgical procedure through which the tonsils, a lymphatic tissue, very important and central in responses of the immune system to invading infections through the nose and mouth, are removed from a child´s throat, given very specific indications. Because research has shown that there are more possible complications, than benefits to this procedure, it is now done only under very strict conditions and the post-operative nursing care is very strict. One thing the nurse must always be aware of, is the position in which the child is placed; it should be lateral, and with a slight head tilt, so that, if there is bleeding, or release of fluids, they may come out of the throat. Since bleeding is one of the most recurrent complications in post-operative time, this position is very important until the child regains full conciousness.
