Yоu аre cаring fоr а pоst-operative patient. You know that eating is not allowed until bowel sounds have returned after surgery and general anesthesia because of the risk of development of paralytic ileus.   You understand that it is important for post-operative patients to ambulate as soon as possible to promote circulation and prevent blood clots. Your post-operative patient has impaired mobility and unable to get out of bed. Hence, it is alright for you and family members to rub or massage the legs to promote circulation.
