Question 1 of 5
Which risk factor revealed in the client's health history is most closely related to the development of varicose veins?

Question 2 of 5
As the nurse provides discharge instructions to the client with varicose veins, which activity should the nurse suggest the client avoid?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Sitting with crossed knees can compress veins, worsening venous stasis in clients with varicose veins.

Rationale: Reporting the client's adverse reaction to the charge nurse ensures proper communication and potential adjustment of the medication plan.
Question 4 of 5
Which assessment finding would indicate to the nurse that the client is experiencing an arterial disorder?
