C. Check the clients pedal pulses frequently.

The reason she needs to do C is because a femoral puncture can significantly reduce the blood supply to the feet. The lack of proper blood supply to the feet can be fatal and lead to many problems.

The answer to this is C. The nurse needs to check the client’s special pulses frequently. A renal angiography is a test that is done in order to check the state of the blood vessels in the kidney. This test is supposed to show if there is a narrowing or ballooning of the blood vessels in the surrounding area.

The nurse has to do letter C because he/she has to check if the circulation to the feet has been significantly reduced because of the procedure. It would be checked if there are differences with the client’s vital signs. A nurse would need to check if there is fresh bleeding in the puncture wound.

Check the client\ s pedal pulses frequently.-rationale: after renal angiography involving a femoral puncture site, the nurse should check the clients pedal pulses frequently to detect reduced circulation to the feet caused by vascular injury. the nurse also should monitor vital signs for evidence of internal hemorrhage and should observe the puncture site frequently for fresh bleeding. the client should be kept on bed rest for several hours so the puncture site can seal completely. keeping the clients knee bent is unnecessary. by the time the client returns to the short-procedure unit, manual pressure over the puncture site is no longer needed because a pressure dressing is in place. the nurse should leave this dressing in place for several hours and only remove it if instructed to do so.
