Hey there, numbness and or tingling should make you think of nervous tissue. What kinds of things cause neevous tissue damage or insult? CVA- usually facial or one sided sensory loss or tingling. Diabetes- lower extremity nerve damage due to decreased small vessel blood supply to the nerves. Ortho/musculoskeletal- nerve impingement, myofascial swelling, compartment syndrome or direct nerve trauma. These are some things to think of, but always take numbness and swelling as a sign of a nerve issue. I use UpToDate for most of my info nowdays. From patho and treatments to prescribing and referrals. Be careful, you can waste a great deal of time on there.

Hey there, nursing instructor here. Given the information this patient seems to be presenting with acute blood loss and hypovolemic shock compensation. The renal system may be shutting down to preserve fluid balance and enaure renal perfusion. The kidneys are telling the heart to increase the rate to keep up minimum perfusion. The Bp is concerning with the heart rate and tachypnea. Ecause these symptoms indicate intervention is needed before the patient can no longer compensate. Just my two cents. Post op, tachy, low bp, I think hypovolemic shock.

I've always had good luck with Nike air or shoxx. Just make sure the top surface isn't mesh. I once had a patients blood drip straight through onto my sock. It was so warm!!!
