1. Question
The nurse is assessing the casted extremity of a client. Which sign is indicative of infection?
CorrectOption 3 is the correct answer:
Rationale: Signs of infection under a casted area include odor or purulent drainage from the cast or the presence of “hot spots,” which are areas of the cast that are warmer than others. The primary health care provider should be notified if any of these occur. Signs of impaired circulation in the distal limb include coolness and pallor of the skin, diminished distal pulse, and edema.
