Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a child who is 2 hr postoperative. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale:
Step 1: Assess circulation first to ensure adequate blood flow and oxygen delivery to the extremities.
Step 2: Compare the child's pedal pulses to establish baseline perfusion status.
Step 3: This helps in early detection of any potential circulatory compromise.
Step 4: If pulses are weak or absent, immediate intervention can be initiated to prevent further complications. Comparing pedal pulses is the priority as it directly assesses perfusion status. Other options like determining sedation level, assessing pain, or rechecking temperature can be addressed after ensuring adequate circulation.
