Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: In some older clients, arteries may be palpated more easily because of the loss of supportive surrounding tissues.
Rationale 2: The most distal pulses of the lower extremities are more difficult to palpate, not easier to palpate, because of decreased arterial perfusion.
Rationale 3: The number of varicosities increases in the older client.
Rationale 4: The systolic blood pressure might increase.
