Question 1 of 5
The client with vasospastic disorder (Raynaud's phenomenon) complains of cold and numbness in her fingers. The nurse assesses the client for effects of vasoconstriction. Which of the following is an early sign of vasoconstriction?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Pallor is an early sign of vasoconstriction in Raynaud's, as reduced blood flow causes the skin to turn white. Cyanosis occurs later with prolonged ischemia, gangrene is a late complication, and rubor (redness) occurs during the hyperemic phase after vasospasm resolves.
