paralysis. Compartment syndrome is a medical emergency. The
nurse's priorities are to loosen the dressing to the splint and
assess the client's peripheral pulses. A pulse volume recorder
may be necessary to detect the peripheral pulses. The nurse
should frequently monitor the client's neurovascular function to
detect any changes that may indicate further progression of
compartment syndrome. The nurse should also monitor and treat
the client's pain using prescribed opioids.
