Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. While assessing pain level is important, ensuring adequate perfusion and circulation takes precedence.
B. Rechecking the child's temperature may be necessary but is not as immediately critical as assessing pedal pulses.
C. Determining the child's sedation level is important for monitoring postoperative status but is not the priority at this time.
D. Assessing the child's pedal pulses is crucial following a motor-vehicle crash and surgical procedures involving the lower extremities. It helps to evaluate the perfusion and circulation to the extremities, especially after a leg open reduction and fixation surgery.
