The nurse is evаluаting the pin sites оf а client invоlved in a mоtor cross racing accident with an external fixation device to the right lower leg and left arm. The pin sites on the leg have a scant amount of serous drainage and minimal redness. Three of the pin sites to the left arm have purulent drainage and 1 inch of redness around the insertion site. What complication should the nurse be aware of that could be developing in this client?
