Question 1 of 5
Four days following an abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, the client is exhibiting edema of both lower extremities, and pedal pulses are not palpable. Which action should the nurse implement first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The non-palpable pedal pulses indicate a potential issue with peripheral perfusion, which is a critical concern post-surgery. Using a vascular Doppler to assess blood flow is the priority to determine the presence or absence of pulses, as this directly addresses the risk of compromised circulation.
