Choice A rationale:

Pressure ulcers are not typically related to blood pooling in superficial veins due to prolonged standing. Pressure ulcers are usually caused by sustained pressure on the skin and underlying tissues, leading to tissue damage.

Choice B rationale:

Varicose veins can develop when blood pools in the superficial veins, often due to prolonged standing or increased pressure on the veins. This can lead to the dilation and twisting of the veins, resulting in varicose veins. Therefore, if a person stands for long periods of time, the nurse should assess for the development of varicose veins.

Choice C rationale:

Emboli and thromboangitis obliterans (Buerger's disease) are not directly related to blood pooling in superficial veins due to prolonged standing. Emboli are blood clots or other materials that travel through the bloodstream and can potentially block vessels in various parts of the body. Thromboangitis obliterans is a rare inflammatory condition that primarily affects the blood vessels of the extremities.

Choice A rationale:

Stable angina is characterized by chest pain or discomfort that occurs with exertion or stress and is relieved by rest. This type of angina is typically predictable and reproducible. The rationale for this choice is based on the classic presentation of stable angina, where pain is often triggered by physical activity or emotional stress and is relieved by rest. It is related to coronary artery disease (CAD) and is caused by temporary reduction in blood flow to the heart muscle due to narrowed or blocked coronary arteries. The pain is often described as a pressure or squeezing sensation in the chest and is usually predictable, occurring during specific activities or under certain circumstances.

Choice B rationale:

Chest pain that lasts more than a few hours is not typical for stable angina. Angina is characterized by transient episodes of chest pain or discomfort, typically lasting for a few minutes (usually 5-10 minutes). Prolonged chest pain may indicate a different cardiac or non-cardiac condition that requires further evaluation.

Choice C rationale:

Chest pain not relieved by nitroglycerin is not typical for stable angina. Nitroglycerin is a medication commonly used to relieve the symptoms of angina. If chest pain persists despite nitroglycerin administration, it may suggest unstable angina or another cardiac condition that requires immediate medical attention.

Choice D rationale:

Chest pain that occurs unpredictably is not typical for stable angina. Stable angina is characterized by chest pain that is predictable and reproducible, often occurring during specific activities or under certain conditions. Unpredictable chest pain is more indicative of unstable angina or acute coronary syndromes, which are associated with a higher risk of myocardial infarction.
