During a routine physical assessment for a 9-month-old client, the nurse notes swelling in the ankles. The nurse presses against the ankle bone for 5 seconds, then releases the pressure, noticing a markedly slow disappearance of the indentation. Which system requires a more in-depth assessment based on these data?
 
  1. Renal system
  2. Musculoskeletal system
  3. Respiratory system
  4. Integumentary system
