Question 2 of 5

A client with peripheral vascular disease (PVD) has symptoms of intermittent claudication. Which should the nurse include when teaching the client about intermittent claudication?

A. It causes pain that occurs during periods of inactivity. B. It causes pain that increases when the legs are elevated and decreases when the legs are dependent. C. It causes cramping or aching pain in the lower extremities and the buttocks that occurs with a predictable level of activity. D. It is often described as a burning sensation in the lower legs.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Intermittent claudication is a symptom of peripheral vascular disease (PVD) characterized by cramping or aching pain in the lower extremities and buttocks that occurs with a predictable level of activity, such as walking a certain distance. This pain typically resolves with rest. The pain is due to inadequate blood flow to the muscles during activity, causing a buildup of lactic acid, which leads to muscle pain. This symptom is an important indicator of decreased arterial blood flow and is a common presentation in individuals with PVD. Therefore, when teaching the client about intermittent claudication, the nurse should emphasize the predictable nature of the pain related to activity and the relief experienced with rest.

Question 4 of 5

During an assessment, the nurse determines that a patient with knee pain is at risk for osteoarthritis. What did the nurse assess in this patient?

A. Having a history of falls B. Eating a diet high in calcium C. Walking 30 minutes each day D. Being overweight by 30 pounds

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Osteoarthritis is a condition where the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of bones wears down over time. Excess weight puts extra stress on the joints, particularly weight-bearing joints like the knees. Being overweight by 30 pounds increases the risk of developing osteoarthritis in the knees because the added weight can accelerate the breakdown of cartilage. Therefore, the nurse identified the patient as at risk for osteoarthritis due to being overweight by 30 pounds.
