In the daily assessment, the nurse is required to record the level of this client's peripheral edema. Which would be the main area for examination? Correct response: feet and ankles Explanation: Edema occurs when blood is not pumped efficiently or plasma protein levels are inadequate to maintain osmotic pressure. When blood has nowhere else to go, the extra fluid enters the tissues. Particular areas for examination are the dependent parts of the body, such as the feet and ankles. The area over, not below, the sacrum is another area prone to edema.
