A nurse is caring for a school-age child who has a fracture to the right femur.Which of the following findings is the nurse's priority?

Choice A rationaleCapillary refill less than 2 seconds is a normal finding and suggests adequate perfusion. It is not indicative of a priority concern in this context.Choice B rationaleTingling in the right foot can indicate nerve damage or compromised circulation, which is critical to address in a patient with a fracture. This symptom could suggest complications like compartment syndrome, requiring immediate medical attention.Choice C rationaleRespiratory rate of 24/min is slightly elevated but not directly related to the fracture's immediate complications. It requires monitoring but is not the priority.Choice D rationaleA 2+ right pedal pulse indicates a normal pulse and adequate circulation in the foot. While important, it does not represent an immediate concern in this context.
