Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following an open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) of a femur fracture. Which of the following parameters should the nurse include in the evaluation of the neurovascular status of the client's affected extremity?
Correct Answer: A,C,D
Rationale: Monitoring the temperature of the affected extremity is crucial in evaluating neurovascular status. A cool or cold extremity can indicate decreased perfusion, which may be a sign of neurovascular compromise. Assessing the color of the extremity is essential. Pallor or cyanosis can indicate poor blood flow or oxygenation, which are critical signs of neurovascular impairment. Evaluating sensation helps determine if there is any nerve damage or impairment. Changes in sensation, such as numbness or tingling, can indicate neurovascular compromise.
