Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has a left lower arm fracture.Which of the following findings indicates impaired venous return in the client's affected arm?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Increasing edema is a sign of impaired venous return. When veins are unable to effectively return blood to the heart, fluid can accumulate in the tissues, leading to edema. Ecchymosis indicates bleeding or injury but not specifically impaired venous return. Acute pain is expected with a fracture and does not directly suggest venous issues. A bounding distal pulse suggests increased arterial flow, not impaired venous return.
