These are findings of autonomic dysreflexia, also called hyperreflexia. This response
occurs in clients with a spinal cord injury above the T-6 level. It is typically initiated by
any noxious stimulus below the level of injury such as a full bladder, an enema or bowel
movement, fecal impaction, uterine contractions, changing of the catheter and vaginal
or rectal examinations. The stimulus creates an exaggerated response of the
sympathetic nervous system and can be a life-threatening event. The BP is typically
extremely high. The priority action of the nurse is to identify and relieve the cause of the
stimulus.
The nurse is assessing a 4 year-old child who is in skeletal traction 24 hours after
surgical repair of a fractured femur. The child is crying and reports having severe pain.
The right foot is pale and there is no palpable pulse. What action should the nurse take
first?
Administer the ordered PRN medication
Reassess the extremity in 15 minutes
Readjust the traction for comfort
Notify the health care provider - Answer Notify the health care provider
Pain and absence of a pulse within 48-72 hours after a severe injury to an extremity
suggests acute compartment syndrome. This condition occurs when there's a build up
of pressure within the muscles; this pressure decreases blood flow and can cause
muscle and nerve damage. Acute compartment syndrome is a medical emergency.
Surgery is needed immediately; delaying surgery can lead to permanent damage to the
extremity.
