Question 1 of 5
The nurse, who is assessing a client with peripheral vascular disease, notes that the client has no hair on the legs and has thick toenails. Which statement best describes the cause of this finding?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Decreased oxygen to the tissues causes changes in hair growth and nail texture. In peripheral vascular disease, poor circulation leads to decreased oxygen delivery to the extremities, resulting in reduced hair growth and thickened toenails. This is known as peripheral vascular disease-related changes.
Choice A is incorrect because these findings are not considered normal based solely on age.
Choice B is incorrect as hair loss and thick toenails do not directly indicate a blood clot requiring immediate intervention.
Choice D is incorrect as the changes are not primarily hereditary or related to fungus.
