Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Wrapping the residual limb in a figure-eight configuration provides compression and support, shaping the limb for prosthesis fitting, and promoting proper circulation.

B. Wrapping in a proximal-to-distal direction can restrict blood flow and does not provide the appropriate support needed for prosthetic shaping.

C. The bandage should be rewrapped more frequently than once a day to maintain compression and limb shape.

D. Securing the bandage at the lowest joint is inadequate as it may allow loosening and improper shaping of the residual limb.

A. Heart rate B. Oxygen saturation C. Edema D. Temperature E. Urine color F. Pedal pulses

Correct Answer is ["A","C","E","F"]

Explanation

A. Heart rate: The increased heart rate (108/min) may indicate a developing complication such as hypovolemia or pain. This requires monitoring as it could signal deteriorating status.

B. Oxygen saturation: The SpO₂ level is stable at 96%, which is within an acceptable range and does not indicate an immediate concern.

C. Edema: The increase in sacral and iliac region edema (2+) from day 1 to day 2 suggests worsening swelling and possible fluid accumulation, which could be affecting blood flow and leading to circulatory issues.

D. Temperature: The temperature remains within a normal range, so it does not require immediate intervention.

E. Urine color: Dark, reddish-brown urine suggests possible bleeding or rhabdomyolysis, both of which require immediate follow-up to prevent further complications and assess kidney function.

F. Pedal pulses: The change to 1+ pedal pulses bilaterally and the delayed capillary refill time (6 seconds) indicate reduced perfusion to the lower extremities, which may suggest compromised circulation or increased edema affecting blood flow.
