The client had an open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of a femur fracture. During a routine assessment 36 hours after surgery, the nurse finds the client disoriented, short of breath and warm to the touch. The client's temperature is 102.4 F (39 C). What assessment should the nurse perform next? Measure oxygen saturation using a pulse oximeter Assess orientation to time, person and place Remove the splint and inspect the incision Perform a neurologic check of bilateral distal extremities. And why

Remove the splint and inspect the incision. More than likely has an infection

DVT signs are swelling and pain. Numbness and tingling from lack of circulation. Not fever
