Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
When documenting the force, or amplitude, of pulses, 3+ indicates an increased, full, or bounding pulse, 2+ indicates a normal pulse, 1+ indicates a weak pulse, and 0 indicates an absent pulse.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Arterial ischemic ulcers occur at the toes, metatarsal heads, heels, and lateral ankle and are characterized by a pale ischemic base, well-defined edges, and no bleeding. (See Table 20-5 for a description of varicose veins and deep-vein thrombophlebitis. See Table 20-4 for a description of venous stasis ulcers.)
