A client with a popliteal artery aneurysm is concerned about the potential complications. What complication is unique to popliteal artery aneurysms compared to other peripheral vascular aneurysms?

A) Incorrect - Hypoglycemia is not a common complication of femoral artery catheterization. It is not directly related to the procedure or the femoral artery itself.

B) Incorrect - Hypothermia is not a typical complication of femoral artery catheterization. The procedure is typically performed under controlled environmental conditions.

C) Correct - Bleeding and hematoma at the insertion site are common complications of femoral artery catheterization. The nurse should closely monitor the insertion site for any signs of bleeding or swelling.

D) Incorrect - While elevated blood pressure can be a concern after some procedures, it is not a specific complication of femoral artery catheterization. The primary focus after the procedure is on monitoring the insertion site.

A) Correct - Monitoring for hypertension is essential in the postoperative period after an endovascular repair of an AAA. Hypertension can increase stress on the repaired vessel and may lead to complications.

B) Incorrect - Hypoglycemia is not a common complication after AAA repair. It is not directly related to the procedure or the aneurysm itself.

C) Incorrect - Peripheral edema may occur for various reasons, but it is not a specific complication of AAA repair unless there are other underlying factors.

D) Incorrect - Hemorrhage is a significant concern during and immediately after the procedure, but in the postoperative period, it would be an immediate complication rather than one to monitor for.
