You are assessing a 59-year-old gas station owner
... [Show More] for atherosclerosis in the lower extremities. In which of the following locations would the patient's pain make you concerned for this disease process? Calf
A 57-year-old maintenance worker comes to your office for evaluation of pain in his legs. He has smoked two packs per day since the age of 16, but he is otherwise healthy. You are concerned that he may have peripheral vascular disease. Which of the following is part of common or concerning symptoms for the peripheral vascular system? Intermittent claudication
A patient has bilateral pitting edema of the feet. While assessing the peripheral vascular system, the nurse's primary focus should be:
Venous function of the lower extremities
A patient has a positive Homans' sign. The nurse knows that a positive Homans' sign may indicate: deep vein thrombosis.
The major artery that supplies blood to arm brachial artery
To assess the dorsalis pedis artery, the nurse would palpate
lateral to the extensor tendon of the great toe. The dorsalis pedis artery is located on the dorsum of the foot. Palpate just lateral to and parallel with the extensor tendon of the big toe.
The nurse is reviewing an assessment of a patient's peripheral pulses and notices that the documentation states that the radial pulses are "2+." The nurse recognizes that this reading indicates what type ofpulse?
A.Bounding B.Normal C.Weak D.Absent
Which of the following assessment findings is most consistent with clubbing of the fingernails?
An angle of the nail base of 180 degrees or greater with a nail base that feels spongy
During an assessment, the nurse notes that a patient's left arm is swollen from the shoulder down to the fingers, with nonpitting edema. The right
arm is normal. The patient had a mastectomy 1 year ago. The nurse suspects which problem?
Lymphedema
Which of the following statements is true regarding the arterial system?
The arterial system is a high-pressure system.
When assessing a patient the nurse practitioner documents the left femoral pulse as 0/0-4+. Which of the following findings would the nurse practitioner expect at the dorsalis pedis pulse?
0/0-4+ Pulsations are graded on a four-point scale: 0, absent; 1+, weak; 2+, normal; 3+, increased; 4+, bounding. If a pulse is absent at the femoral site, one would expect the dorsalis pedis pulse to be absent also.
Which of the following veins are responsible for most of the venous return in the arm?
1.Deep veins 2.Ulnar veins 3.Subclavian veins 4.Superficial veins
The nurse is performing a well-child assessment on a 3-year-old child. The child’s vital signs are normal. Capillary refill time is 5 seconds. The nurse would:
1.ask the parent if the child has had frostbite in the past. 2.suspect that the child has a venous insufficiency problem.
3. consider this a delayed capillary refill time and investigate further.
4. consider this a normal capillary refill time that requires no further assessment. Normal capillary refill time is less than 1 to 2 seconds. Note that these conditions can skew your findings: a cool room, decreased body temperature, cigarette smoking, peripheral edema, and anemia.
Which of the following statements is true regarding assessment of the ankle-brachial index (ABI)?
ABI = highest ankle pressure divided by the highest brachial pressure [Show Less]
