Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C

Feedback
Correct a. and c. should be assessed. Peripheral pulses and skin turgor of the feet are appropriate assessments.
Incorrect b. and d. are not necessary. Post-tibial blood pressures usually are only performed on infants and small children and capillary refill of the toes would be appropriate, but not the fingers.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, D

Feedback
Correct b., c., and d. are appropriate nursing measures.
Incorrect Dietary modifications are important, but don't address the effects of smoking.
