Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client who has a long arm cast. For which of the following findings should the nurse monitor when assessing for acute compartment syndrome?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Edema. In acute compartment syndrome, increased pressure within a muscle compartment can lead to restricted blood flow, causing edema. Monitoring edema is crucial as it can indicate compromised circulation in the affected limb. Shortness of breath (
B), petechiae (
C), and change in mental status (
D) are not typically associated with acute compartment syndrome. Shortness of breath could suggest a respiratory or cardiac issue, petechiae may indicate a bleeding disorder, and change in mental status could point to neurological or systemic issues unrelated to compartment syndrome.
