Quizplus · Accepted Answer

After an appendectomy, the client should avoid heavy lifting or any strenuous activity that may cause strain on the incision site. This can lead to complications such as bleeding or herniation. Harsh sunlight and purine-rich foods are not specifically contraindicated after an appendectomy. Dairy products may be advised against if the client is experiencing gastrointestinal upset or lactose intolerance.
