Answer to Question 1

C
The impaired circulation of PVD increases the older adult's risk for having decreased circulation and impaired wound healing. Responses A, B, and D all are factors that increase an older adult's risk of developing skin breakdown but are not specifically related to PVD.

Answer to Question 2

D
Responses A, B, and C all refer to passive range of motion. Passive range of motion generally requires that another person, usually the nurse or therapist, takes responsibility for the exercise program.
