Adolescent post-cardiac catheterization with changes in right femoral area
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for an adolescent following a cardiac catheterization. Which of the following assessment findings should the nurse report to the provider? Select the 4 findings that the nurse should report to the provider.
Correct Answer: A,E,F,G
Rationale: The correct answer includes reporting the right lower extremity color and warmth, pulses of the right extremity, pressure dressing, and pain to the provider. These findings are crucial post-cardiac catheterization to monitor for potential complications like vascular compromise, bleeding, and pain. Changes in extremity color and warmth could indicate decreased perfusion or blood flow, abnormal pulses could suggest vascular issues, a dislodged clot, or arterial spasm, the pressure dressing should be monitored for signs of bleeding or hematoma, and pain could indicate vascular compromise or other complications. Monitoring blood pressure, respiratory rate, and adolescent's position are important but not the priority in this scenario. Reporting these findings promptly ensures timely intervention and prevents further complications.
