A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a blood transfusion. The nurse should monitor for which of the following findings as an indication the client is having an acute hemolytic reaction?

Choice A reason: Keeping the environment warm can help prevent the vasoconstriction that can exacerbate PAD symptoms.

Choice B reason: Resting with the legs above heart level is not typically recommended for PAD as it can reduce arterial blood flow to the legs.

Choice C reason: Applying a heating pad is not recommended for clients with PAD because they may have decreased sensation and could suffer burns.

Choice D reason: Wearing antiembolic stockings during the day can help improve circulation, which is beneficial for clients with PAD.

Choice A reason: While limit-setting is important, it should not be overly strict as it can increase anxiety in patients who are already highly anxious.

Choice B reason: Increasing environmental stimuli may overwhelm a highly anxious patient rather than help them.

Choice C reason: Providing support and a therapeutic milieu offers a safe and structured environment, which can help reduce anxiety and promote healing.

Choice D reason: More freedom can be beneficial, but it must be balanced with the need for a supportive and structured environment for a highly anxious patient.
