Fractures

A 45-year-old adult with a newly applied long leg cast for a tibia fracture is brought to the emergency department by family who report the patient has been complaining of severe, unrelenting pain in the toes that is not relieved by prescribed pain medication. The nurse notes the patient's toes are pale, cool, and have decreased capillary refill. What is the nurse's priority intervention?

해설
Unrelenting pain, pale/cool toes, and decreased capillary refill in a patient with a cast indicate compartment syndrome, necessitating immediate physician notification and emergency cast removal. Other interventions (elevation, ice, more pain meds, toe wiggling) are inappropriate and could delay critical treatment.
