The nurse is caring for a client with an Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The nurse assesses the insertion site of the IABP via the left femoral artery. The nurse then assesses the client’s pedal pulses. The nurse notes the left pedal pulse and diminished in strength and the foot appears pallor. What is the most appropriate action based on the assessment findings?
