Question 1 of 5

The nurse assesses a client postoperatively who has an arterial line in the right radial artery. Assessment findings include pallor, paresthesia, and slow capillary refill in the client's right-hand fingers. Which action should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The pallor, paresthesia, and delayed capillary refill suggest arterial insufficiency, possible thrombosis, or arterial spasm, which can lead to tissue ischemia and necrosis if not addressed promptly. The healthcare provider should be notified immediately to assess the need for interventions such as removal of the arterial line, vascular assessment, or anticoagulation therapy.
