ANSWERS ✔✔D
(Clients with PVD need to pay special attention to their feet. Toenails need to be kept
short and cut straight across. The client whose hands shake may cause injury when
trimming toenails. The nurse should refer this client to a podiatrist. Comfy
sweatpants and house shoes are generally loose and not restrictive, which is
important for clients with PVD. Keeping the house at a comfortable temperature
makes it less likely the client will use alternative heat sources, such as heating pads,
to stay warm. The client should keep the feet moist and soft with lotion.)
