A nurse is establishing a baseline postoperative assessment for a client who is recovering from a right femoropopliteal bypass graft. Which of the following findings in the assessment of the client's right leg should be of the most concern to the nurse?

The most concerning finding in the assessment of a client's right leg after a femoropopliteal bypass graft would be if the client's pedal pulse in the right foot is not palpable. This could indicate a problem with blood flow to the limb. The other options are also concerning and should be reported to the healthcare provider. a) A cooler foot may indicate decreased blood flow to the limb. c) A capillary refill time of 5 seconds may also indicate decreased blood flow. d) A pain level of 8 on a scale from 0 to 10 should also be reported and addressed.
