A nurse is assessing the neurovascular of a client who has returned to the surgical nursing unit 4 hours ago after undergoing aortoiliac bypass graft. The affected leg is warm, and the nurse notes redness and edema. The pedal pulse is palpable and unchanged from admission. The nurse interprets that the neurovascular status is: 1. Normal because of increased blood flow through the leg 2. Slightly deteriorating and should be monitored for another hour 3. Moderately impaired, and the surgeon should be called 4. Adequate from an arterial approach, but venous complications are arising. #6: nurseslabs/nclex-exam-cardiovascular-surgery-care-15-items/
