Question 1 of 5

A client with traumatic injuries has a comminuted open fracture of the femur that has been placed in an external fixator. The nurse recognizes that compartment syndrome is associated with which clinical assessment finding?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Scratching around pin sites is more indicative of skin irritation or infection, not compartment syndrome. Accumulation of flaky skin is generally unrelated to compartment syndrome and might be a sign of poor circulation or prolonged immobility. Dry serosanguineous drainage is common after surgery and would not specifically indicate compartment syndrome. Compartment syndrome is a serious condition where increased pressure within a muscle compartment can lead to ischemia and tissue damage. Pain, particularly pain that is out of proportion to the injury or pain when the limb is at rest, is a classic sign.
