Question: 1 / 400

What assessment finding 3 hours post-PCI via femoral artery requires immediate attention?

1+ palpable pedal pulses bilaterally

Option B is incorrect because a 2-cm ecchymosis in the left groin is a common finding after a PCI procedure and does not require immediate attention.

Option C is incorrect because angina rated as 4 on a scale of 0-10 does not require immediate attention as it is only considered mild discomfort.

Option D is incorrect because a blood glucose level of 220 mg/dL (12.2 mmol/L) may require management but does not require immediate attention.

1+ palpable pedal pulses bilaterally require immediate attention as it indicates decreased blood flow to the lower extremities, which can be a sign of a complication or blockage following a PCI procedure. This would require immediate medical intervention to ensure proper blood flow and prevent further complications.
