A nurse is assessing a client who has a long arm cast. For which of the following findings should the nurse monitor when assessing for acute compartment syndrome?

A.

A. Art therapist: Art therapy can provide a nonverbal outlet for expressing feelings and emotions, which can be particularly beneficial for clients with schizophrenia who may struggle with verbal communication.

B. Speech-language pathologist: While speech-language pathologists may assist with communication difficulties, their expertise is more focused on speech and language disorders rather than addressing emotional expression in clients with schizophrenia.

C. Social worker: Social workers provide support and assistance with various psychosocial

issues, but they may not specifically address the client's difficulty expressing feelings through therapeutic interventions like art therapy.

D. Recreational therapist: Recreational therapy focuses on promoting leisure and recreational

activities to improve overall well-being, but it may not directly address the client's difficulty with emotional expression.

A. A child who has a forehead wound that is bleeding copiously: While bleeding wounds require attention, they are not immediately life-threatening compared to other injuries described.

B. A child who has a compound fracture of the femur and is crying in pain: While painful, a

femur fracture is not typically immediately life-threatening unless it is causing severe bleeding or compromising circulation.

C. A child who reports diplopia and nausea and was unconscious at the scene but is now awake:

These symptoms suggest potential head trauma and require urgent evaluation to assess for intracranial injuries.

D. A child who has several missing permanent teeth and a swollen, ecchymotic upper lip: These injuries, while concerning, are not immediately life-threatening compared to the potential head injury described in option C.
