It is essential for clients who have undergone appendectomy to avoid heavy lifting or unusual exertion for several months to minimize the risk of postoperative complications. However, the client need not avoid sunlight because there is no risk of photosensitivity. It is not essential for the client to avoid dairy products or purine-rich foods because these food products have no implications on the client's recovery.
