[Solved]: The patient returns to the unit post-catheterization

The patient returns to the unit post-catheterization. Three vessel disease and poor coronary anatomy prevented stent placement during the catheterization and she is now scheduled for a coronary artery bypass graft tomorrow. Upon return to the unit, you perform a full assessment and complete the vascular assessment form at the bedside. Describe at least three items you will focus on for your assessment of the patient. You note a dorsalis pedis pulse of 1+ on the left and 2+ on the right. The left leg is cool and dry, right leg warm and dry. Capillary refill is >3 seconds on the left and <3 seconds on the right. What findings concern you and why? Annamarie has just signed consent for her CABG today. She wants to know if she will be discharged in time for a wedding she is supposed to attend in three days. What education would you provide this patient on the procedure and post op plan? Identify three activities that the patient can do to promote cardiovascular health promotion and maintenance upon discharge.
