Basic Adult Health Care NCLEX Heart Questions Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

The nurse is assessing a 48-year-old client with a history of smoking during a routine clinic visit. The client, who exercises regularly, reports having pain in the calf during exercise that disappears at rest. Which of the following findings requires further evaluation?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: An ankle-brachial index (ABI) of 0.65 is significantly below the normal range (0.9–1.3), indicating potential peripheral vascular disease (PV
D) due to arterial insufficiency. This finding warrants further evaluation, especially given the client's symptoms of claudication (pain during exercise relieved by rest) and smoking history, which are risk factors for PVD. The other options€”heart rate, SpO2, and blood pressure€”are either normal or irrelevant in this context.
