Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a patient recovering from a client who has had cardiac catheterization via the right femoral artery. The nurse notes stable vital signs one hour post-procedure but cannot palpate the right pedal pulse. Which action would be the nurse's highest priority action?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Absence of a pedal pulse post-catheterization (
B) suggests vascular occlusion, requiring urgent physician notification to prevent limb ischemia. Checking capillary refill (
A) or using Doppler (
D) is secondary. Trendelenburg (
C) is inappropriate for this issue.
