A) Incorrect - While regular aerobic exercise is beneficial for overall vascular health, it may not specifically alleviate Raynaud's disease symptoms during cold weather.

B) Incorrect - Applying a heating pad to the affected areas is not the most effective intervention for managing Raynaud's disease symptoms. It may not fully address the underlying vascular constriction.

C) Correct - Avoiding exposure to cold temperatures is essential for managing Raynaud's disease symptoms. Cold temperatures can trigger vasospasm in affected areas, leading to color changes and discomfort.

D) Incorrect - Over-the-counter antihistamines are not a standard treatment for Raynaud's disease and may not directly alleviate symptoms related to cold weather exposure.

A) Incorrect - Hypoglycemia is not a common complication of femoral artery catheterization. It is not directly related to the procedure or the femoral artery itself.

B) Incorrect - Hypothermia is not a typical complication of femoral artery catheterization. The procedure is typically performed under controlled environmental conditions.

C) Correct - Bleeding and hematoma at the insertion site are common complications of femoral artery catheterization. The nurse should closely monitor the insertion site for any signs of bleeding or swelling.

D) Incorrect - While elevated blood pressure can be a concern after some procedures, it is not a specific complication of femoral artery catheterization. The primary focus after the procedure is on monitoring the insertion site.
