Question 1 of 5
A client admitted with chronic venous insufficiency has an infected wound of the left lower extremity. Which clinical manifestations does the nurse anticipate during the client's assessment? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: 1. Pulses absent in the extremity with the wound (Option
A): In chronic venous insufficiency, damaged valves in the veins result in blood pooling in the lower extremities. This can lead to decreased arterial perfusion and impaired circulation, causing weakened or absent pulses in the affected extremity.
Question 2 of 5
A 67-year-old client with a history of type II diabetes mellitus and chronic hypertension is admitted to the emergency department after a myocardial infarction. Which type of shock should the nurse be prepared to treat in this client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Given the client's history of type II diabetes mellitus, chronic hypertension, and recent myocardial infarction, the most likely type of shock for the nurse to be prepared to treat in this client is cardiogenic shock. Cardiogenic shock occurs when the heart is unable to pump effectively, leading to inadequate perfusion of vital organs. This can be a complication of myocardial infarction, as damage to the heart muscle can impair its ability to pump blood effectively. Patients with a history of diabetes and hypertension are at increased risk for cardiovascular diseases, such as myocardial infarction, which can lead to cardiogenic shock. Symptoms of cardiogenic shock include hypotension, tachycardia, cool and clammy skin, and altered mental status. Treatment may involve medications to support cardiac function, such as inotropes, and interventions to improve oxygen delivery, such as oxygen therapy and fluid administration.
