Ref # 4366 The nurse receives a client from the post anesthesia care unit following a left femoral-popliteal bypass graft procedure. Which of the following assessments requires immediate notification of the health care provider?  Left foot is cool to the touch  Absent left pedal pulse using Doppler analysis  Inability to palpate the left pedal pulse  Acute pain in the left lower leg Although the inability to palpate the left pedal pulse, a cool extremity, and increased pain in the left lower leg are important findings, they all require additional nursing assessment prior to contacting the health care provider.
