Question 1 of 5
A client is diagnosed with thromboangiitis obliterans (Buerger's disease). The nurse places priority on teaching the client about modifications of which risk factor related to this disorder?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Buerger's disease is an occlusive disease of the median small arteries and veins. It occurs predominantly among men who are more than 40 years old who smoke cigarettes. A familial tendency is noted, but cigarette smoking is consistently a risk factor. Symptoms of the disease improve with smoking cessation. Exposure to heat, diet low in vitamin C, and excessive water intake are not risk factors.
