C Obtain blood pressures in all extremities.<br /><br />When femoral pulses are only slightly palpable, it may indicate a potential issue with circulation or cardiac function. Obtaining blood pressures in all extremities can help identify discrepancies that might suggest conditions such as coarctation of the aorta, where there is a narrowing of the aorta that can lead to differences in blood pressure between the upper and lower extremities. This assessment will provide valuable information about the infant's cardiovascular status.
