healthy. You are concerned that he may have peripheral vascular disease. Which
of the following is part of common or concerning symptoms for the peripheral
vascular system?Intermittent claudication

sign may indicate: deep vein thrombosis.



The major artery that supplies blood to arm brachial artery



To assess the dorsalis pedis artery, the nurse would palpate

lateral to the extensor tendon of the great toe. The dorsalis pedis artery is located on the dorsum
of the foot. Palpate just lateral to and parallel with the extensor tendon of the big toe.

, The nurse is reviewing an assessment of a patient's peripheral pulses and notices
that the documentation states that the radial pulses are "2+." The nurse recognizes
that this reading indicates what type ofpulse?
A.Bounding
B.Normal
C.Weak
D.Absent

fingernails?

An angle of the nail base of 180 degrees or greater with a nail base that feels spongy

shoulder down to the fingers, with nonpitting edema. The right arm is normal. The
patient had a mastectomy 1 year ago. The nurse suspects which problem?

0/0-4+ Pulsations are graded on a four-point scale: 0, absent; 1+, weak; 2+, normal; 3+,
increased; 4+, bounding. If a pulse is absent at the femoral site, one would expect the dorsalis
pedis pulse to be absent also.
