A nurse on a pediatric unit is receiving a change of shift report for a group of clients. Which of the following clients should the nurse see first?

A. A child who is postoperative following a tonsillectomy and reports moderate throat pain: Pain is expected post-tonsillectomy and, while it should be managed, it is not immediately life-threatening. B. A child who had a cardiac catheterization using the femoral artery and has blanching of the toes. Blanching suggests compromised blood flow, which is a vascular emergency and must be addressed immediately. C. A child who has bacterial pneumonia and is due for their initial dose of IV antibiotics: Timely administration is important, but compromised circulation (choice B) takes priority. D. A child who has juvenile idiopathic arthritis and needs assistance with application of prescribed splints: Assisting with splints is not urgent compared to vascular compromise.
