A nurse is assessing a client who had left femoral cardiac angiography. Identify where the nurse will palpate to assess the most distal pulse on the affected side. (Selectable areas, or "Hot Spots," are outlined in the artwork below. Select only the outlined area that corresponds to your answer.)
The Correct Answer is "{\"xRanges\":[73.328125,113.328125],\"yRanges\":[281,321]}"
This is where the left dorsalis pedis artery runs and is the most distal pulse that can be palpated on the lower extremity. Assessing it helps determine adequate peripheral circulation post-procedure and ensures there is no arterial compromise due to catheterization.
