Question 4 of 5

A client with peripheral arterial disease complains of leg pain while walking. The nurse should reinforce which teaching point with the client?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: For clients with peripheral arterial disease experiencing leg pain while walking, gradually increasing daily walking distance is beneficial. This approach helps improve circulation, build tolerance, and reduce symptoms over time. Compression stockings can also be recommended for some clients to assist with circulation, but the priority teaching point in this scenario is to promote gradual increases in walking distance to enhance vascular health and symptom management.

Question 5 of 5

A client with known coronary artery disease (CAD) begins to experience chest pain while getting out of bed. What action should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: When a client with CAD experiences chest pain, it indicates myocardial ischemia. The nurse should have the client stop the activity and lie back down in bed to reduce the heart's oxygen demand, decrease myocardial workload, and prevent further ischemia. This action helps in improving blood flow to the heart and can potentially alleviate the chest pain.
