Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The nurse should instruct the client to place lamb's wool between overlapping toes to prevent irritation. The nurse should also encourage the client to massage the foot with a good quality lotion, but not to massage between the toes. The nurse should encourage the client to perform physical exercises, such as walking, instead of avoiding exercise. Use of heating pads and hot water bags should be avoided because the circulation may be poor, neuropathy may be present, and the client's feet can be burned more easily.
