A client who is admitted for an acute stroke reports the onset of a burning sensation in the hands and legs. Which action should the nurse implement to identify additional findings that are consistent with the client's paresthesia?

A. Evaluating muscle strength and hand grips helps assess motor function and strength but does not directly identify causes of paresthesia, such as sensory or circulatory issues. B. Observing the skin for erythema, edema, and warmth is important for identifying potential underlying causes of paresthesia, such as inflammation, infection, or poor circulation, which could be contributing to the burning sensation. C. Reviewing serum electrolytes can be useful in assessing overall metabolic status but is less directly related to identifying the cause of localized paresthesia compared to assessing skin condition or other specific sensory symptoms. D. Checking distal phalanges capillary refill assesses peripheral circulation but does not directly address the burning sensation or potential underlying causes like inflammation or nerve compression.
