A toddler 8 hr postoperative following cardiac catheterization
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a toddler who is 8 hr. postoperative following a cardiac catheterization procedure. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Weak pedal pulse distal to the site. This finding indicates potential compromised circulation, which could be a sign of vascular complications post cardiac catheterization. It is crucial to report this to the provider promptly for further evaluation and intervention to prevent any adverse outcomes.
Incorrect choices:
B: Blood pressure 102/58mm Hg - This blood pressure reading is within normal range for a toddler.
C: Bilateral cool extremities - Cool extremities may be expected due to decreased blood flow postoperatively but not necessarily an immediate concern.
D: Serum glucose 90mg/dL - Normal glucose level for a toddler.
Overall, choice A is the only one that indicates a potential critical issue that requires immediate attention.
