ANS: D
The modified Nuss procedure is an open chest reconstruction for severe cases of pectus excavatum. Preventing pneumonia is a critical nursing action. Because this child is too young to use an incentive spirometer, playing with him or her using bubbles, pinwheels, or paper triangles the child can blow across the table accomplishes pulmonary hygiene. The other activities are important postoperative nursing interventions, but are not specific to this operation.
