which information should the nurse include in a postoperative teaching plan for a client with a laryngectomy? reassure the client that normal eating will be possible after healing has occurred. instruct the client to avoid coughing until the sutures are removed. tell the client to speak by covering the stoma with a sterile gauze pad. instruct the client to control oral secretions by swabbing them with tissues or by expectorating into an emesis basin.
