1. The nurse performs Allen's test to assess varicose veins.

Explanation

Varicose veins are assessed by inspection and palpation over the lower extremities for the presence of enlarged, distended veins.
To perform Allen's test, the nurse compresses the radial arteries as the client opens and closes the fist several times. The client then opens the hands and the nurse observes the palms, which should become pink immediately. The procedure is repeated, this time occluding the ulnar arteries and assessing the patency of the radial arteries.

Explanation

Allen's test determines the patency of the radial and ulnar arteries.
To perform Allen's test, the nurse compresses the radial arteries as the client opens and closes the fist several times. The client then opens the hands and the nurse observes the palms, which should become pink immediately. The procedure is repeated, this time occluding the ulnar arteries and assessing the patency of the radial arteries.

Submit
4. A client has a 1+/0-4+ dorsalis pedis pulse on the right. The lower leg is cool, pale, and painful. This description is most consistent with lymphatic insufficiency

Explanation

Alterations in the lymphatic system may result in lymphedema, not alterations in the arterial circulation such as in arterial insufficiency as described above.

Submit
5. Evaluation of the texture, moisture, and temperature of the skin; hair distribution; capillary refill; and auscultating for bruits are primarily related to lymphatic.

Explanation

Lymphatic assessment includes palpating over the various lymph node locations for tenderness or enlargement.

Submit
6. The nurse performs Allen's test to assess edema.

Explanation

Edema is assessed to determine its extent and whether it is pitting.
To perform Allen's test, the nurse compresses the radial arteries as the client opens and closes the fist several times. The client then opens the hands and the nurse observes the palms, which should become pink immediately. The procedure is repeated, this time occluding the ulnar arteries and assessing the patency of the radial arteries.

Submit
7. The neonatal(rookie) nurse obtains a newborn's blood pressure of 76/40 mm Hg. Ask another nurse to validate the blood pressure because it is low.

Explanation

In a child over one year of age, the systolic pressure in the thigh is 10-40 mm Hg higher than that in the arm.

Submit
8. When palpating a client's pulse, the nurse notes that strength of the pulse alternates between strong and weak pulsations. The nurse would document the presence of pulsus alternans.

Submit
12. A client has a 1+/0-4+ dorsalis pedis pulse on the right. The lower leg is cool, pale, and painful. This description is most consistent with arterial insufficiency.

Explanation

Arterial insufficiency is inadequate circulation in the arterial system, which results in diminished pulses; cool, shiny skin; deep muscle pain; absence of hair on the toes; pallor on elevation; and a red color when dependent.

21. A client tells the nurse, "My legs really hurt when I walk, but if I stop walking the pain gets better in a few minutes." This symptom most likely describes the presence of varicosities.

Explanation

Varicosities occur in the venous system and are not affected by exercise.

Submit
22. A client is being evaluated for suspected thrombosis of a deep leg vein. Client has decreased hair distribution on the legs

Explanation

Decreased hair distribution on the lower legs is related to arterial abnormalities, not venous.

Submit
23. A client has a 1+/0-4+ dorsalis pedis pulse on the right. The lower leg is cool, pale, and painful. This description is most consistent with venous insufficiency

Explanation

Submit
25. When performing an assessment, the nurse notes the presence of decreased pulses. The nurse knows that:

Explanation

Problems with the lumen or valves of the leg veins can lead to stasis or pooling of blood in the veins of the lower extremities.

A blood clot would cause edema in the affected extremity, not bilaterally.

Decreased arterial circulation would cause decreased pulses, not edema.

Submit
26. A client tells the nurse, "My legs really hurt when I walk, but if I stop walking the pain gets better in a few minutes." This symptom most likely describes deep vein thrombosis

Explanation

Deep vein thrombosis is occlusion of a deep vein (e.g., blockage of the femoral vein by a blood clot). The client may have pain and edema that are present both at rest and with exercise.

Submit
27. When assessing the carotid arteries, the nurse should massage the area noting any masses or hardness.

Explanation

Massage of the area should be avoided due to potential stimulation of the baroreceptors.

Submit
28. An eight-month-pregnant client states that she has developed a few varicose veins during her pregnancy. What can the nurse tell the client about these veins?

Explanation

Pressure from the uterus on the lower extremities is common during pregnancy and can obstruct venous return leading to edema, varicosities of the leg, or hemorrhoids. The varicosities may not resolve after pregnancy.

This is a common finding and not cause for alarm at this point.

Notification of the health care provider is not warranted at this time.

Decreased circulation doesn't cause varicosities. Symptoms of decreased circulation would include cool feet and diminished pulses.

Submit
29. When assessing the carotid arteries, the nurse should palpate both carotid arteries simultaneously to assess for the symmetry of the pulse.

Explanation

If both carotid arteries are palpated at the same time, the result can be a drop in blood pressure or a decrease in heart rate due to stimulation of the baroreceptors.

Submit
30. The neonatal(rookie) nurse obtains a newborn's blood pressure of 76/40 mm Hg. Which of the following should the nurse do?

Explanation

The systolic blood pressure of a newborn is 50 to 80 mm Hg; the diastolic blood pressure is 25 to 55 mm Hg. Since this is a normal finding, the nurse should continue with the assessment.

Calling the health care provider is not indicated with this normal finding.

In an infant less than one year of age, the systolic blood pressure in the thigh should equal that in the arm.
