Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Palpate the femoral pulse. When assessing neurovascular status in a client with an unrepaired femur fracture, palpating the femoral pulse is crucial to determine adequate circulation to the lower limb. Absence of the femoral pulse may indicate compromised blood flow, which is a medical emergency requiring immediate intervention. Monitoring calf for edema (
A) is more related to venous status rather than neurovascular assessment. Measuring thigh circumference (
C) does not directly assess neurovascular status. Instructing the client to wiggle his toes (
D) assesses motor function, not neurovascular status.
