ANCC Medical-Surgical Nursing Exam Prep

Category - Medical-Surgical Nursing Practice Test

In preparation for discharge of a client with arterial insufficiency and Raynaud’s disease, client teaching instructions should include:
  1. Walking several times each day as part of an exercise routine
  2. Keeping the heat up so that the environment is warm
  3. Wearing TED hose during the day
  4. Using hydrotherapy for increasing oxygenation
Explanation
Answer - B - The client’s instructions should include keeping the environment warm to prevent vasoconstriction. Wearing gloves, warm clothes, and socks will also be useful in preventing vasoconstriction, but TED (thrombo-embolic deterrent) hose would not be therapeutic. Walking will most likely increase pain.
