A. Disturbed body image
B. Risk for infection
C. Risk for impaired skin integrity
D. Acute pain

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Risk for infection. After surgery to repair a fracture, the priority nursing diagnosis is to monitor for the risk of infection to promote proper healing. Infections can significantly delay the healing process and lead to further complications. Choices A, C, and D are not the priority immediately post-surgery. Disturbed body image, risk for impaired skin integrity, and acute pain may be concerns but are not the priority in the immediate post-operative period following fracture repair.
