Circulation Assessments in Nursing Foot Care

Why is assessing circulation so important?

Poor circulation can affect wound healing, skin integrity, swelling and overall lower limb health.

At Jessie’s Foot Care, circulation screening is an important part of our nursing foot care assessments.

How often should circulation be assessed?

• During an initial nursing assessment
• During follow up assessments based on individual risk factors
• When new symptoms or changes in the lower limbs are identified
• More frequently when clinically indicated for individuals with diabetes, vascular disease, chronic swelling or wounds

What do nurses assess?

• Skin colour and temperature
• Pedal pulses
• Capillary refill
• Swelling and edema
• Skin integrity and wound healing
• Changes in sensation
• Pain during walking or at rest
• Signs of possible arterial or venous insufficiency

What happens when impaired circulation is suspected?

• Assess and document abnormal findings
• Compare findings between both lower limbs
• Monitor for changes or worsening symptoms
• Provide education on foot protection and prevention
• Communicate concerns to the appropriate healthcare provider
• Arrange further assessment or referral when indicated
• Recognize symptoms requiring urgent medical attention

When is compression appropriate?

Compression may be beneficial for individuals experiencing venous insufficiency or certain types of lower limb swelling.

• Arterial circulation must be adequately assessed before therapeutic compression is initiated
• Compression should be selected according to vascular findings and the patient’s clinical condition
• Modified compression may be appropriate for selected individuals with mixed arterial and venous disease under specialized guidance
• Compression should not be initiated or increased when significant arterial insufficiency is suspected without appropriate vascular assessment
• New pain, numbness, colour changes or coldness following compression require immediate removal and reassessment

What else can improve lower limb circulation and health?

• Regular walking and appropriate physical activity
• Ankle movements and calf muscle exercises
• Leg elevation when appropriate for venous swelling
• Properly fitted footwear
• Regular skin inspection and moisturizing
• Smoking cessation
• Diabetes management
• Blood pressure and cholesterol management
• Appropriate medical treatment for underlying vascular conditions

When should patients seek urgent medical attention?

• Sudden severe leg or foot pain
• A foot becoming suddenly cold or pale
• New numbness or weakness
• Rapid changes in skin colour
• New wounds accompanied by signs of poor circulation
• Persistent pain at rest, particularly at night

Sudden changes in circulation may represent a medical emergency and require immediate assessment.

The role of nursing foot care

Licensed Practical Nurses in New Brunswick assess circulation related findings, recognize potential complications, provide appropriate nursing interventions within their scope and competence, educate patients and collaborate with other healthcare professionals.

Nursing foot care is about more than trimming nails. It includes identifying concerns early, promoting lower limb health and helping prevent complications.

❤️ Wear Your Poppy with Pride and Without Getting Poked! 🇨🇦

With Remembrance Day approaching, you’ll notice more and more people proudly wearing their poppies! 🌺

Living in a military community like Oromocto, where so many veterans, active service members, and military families call home, the poppy holds a very special meaning. ❤️

🌺 What Does the Poppy Represent?

The red poppy is a symbol of remembrance, sacrifice, and gratitude. It honours those who served, those who continue to serve, and especially those who gave their lives for our freedom.

📍 How to Safely Wear Your Poppy Without Getting Pricked!

✅ Wear it on your left side, over your heart, as a symbol of remembrance.

✅ Lay your jacket or shirt flat before attaching your poppy whenever possible.

✅ Push the pin through the fabric away from your body. Never try to push the sharp pin toward your chest while wearing your jacket!

✅ Weave the pin back through the fabric so the sharp end is secured on the outside, ideally tucked beneath the poppy or safely covered.

✅ Use a rubber earring backing or pin stopper to cover the sharp tip and prevent accidental pokes.

✅ Check that it’s secure before putting your jacket on, especially if you’ll be hugging someone, carrying a child, or moving around frequently.

⚠️ Safety tip: Never leave the sharp end of your poppy pin exposed against your skin. If you have difficulty handling small pins, ask someone to help attach it safely.

❤️ A Small Flower with a Powerful Meaning

Here in Oromocto, remembrance is especially close to home. Behind every uniform is a person, a family, and a story.

Whether you’re honouring a loved one, a veteran in your community, or someone who made the ultimate sacrifice, wearing a poppy is a simple but meaningful way to say:

We remember. We honour. We thank you.

🇨🇦 Lest We Forget. 🌺

I unintentionally made this combination this morning.

My crewneck says "Freedom" and I went to purchase my Poppy this morning and as I placed it on my shirt I realized the pair were perfectly matched.

Forever thankful for our troops for our F R E E D O M
