Question 5 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has an unrepaired femur fracture of the midshaft. Which of the following techniques should the nurse use when performing an assessment of the client's neurovascular status?

Monitoring for edema is important but does not provide specific information about neurovascular status. Palpating the femoral pulse helps evaluate circulation but is less specific than assessing distal motor function.
