Checking Circulation of a Child’s Fingers by a Nurse

Image Description:

If a child has received a treatment that can affect blood flow (circulation) for an injured arm or leg, it is usual for the nurse to check the circulation in the child’s fingers or toes. This is to prevent injury to the nerves and other tissues that could be caused by swelling.
