Question 1 of 5

The nurse is unable to palpate the client's left pedal pulses. Which of the following actions should the nurse take next?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: If pedal pulses are not palpable, the next step is to use a Doppler ultrasound device to detect blood flow, as pulses may be weak due to PVD or other causes.
