Question 1 of 5
A client seeks medical attention for intermittent signs and symptoms that suggest a diagnosis of Raynaud’s disease. The nurse should assess the trigger of these signs/symptoms by asking which?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Does drinking coffee or ingesting chocolate seem related to the episodes? This question is relevant because caffeine and chocolate are known triggers for Raynaud's disease due to their vasoconstrictive properties. By asking about these specific triggers, the nurse can gather important information to help identify potential causes of the client's symptoms.
Choice B is incorrect because exposure to heat typically alleviates symptoms of Raynaud's disease rather than causing them.
Choice C is irrelevant as Raynaud's symptoms typically occur when the individual is exposed to cold or experiencing stress, not while asleep.
Choice D is also incorrect as injuries limiting activity levels are not directly related to Raynaud's disease triggers.
