Classic symptoms of tinea pedis (athlete’s foot), a fungal infection often affecting the web spaces of toes.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Assessing for rhinorrhea or otorrhea:
Relevant in head trauma or skull fracture, not a priority in impaired mobility related to burns.

B. Monitoring for changes in the client's baseline focused assessment:
Changes in perfusion, sensation, and mobility may indicate compartment syndrome or pressure injuries and need prompt attention.

C. Documenting the relevant information in the client's medical record:
Important for continuity of care, but not the priority assessment.

D. Range of motion (ROM) of the restrained extremity:
Helpful to prevent contractures, but monitoring for clinical deterioration takes precedence.
