A nurse is conducting a health promotion seminar on aneurysm prevention. Which of the following lifestyle modifications should the nurse recommend to the attendees?

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) Correct - Checking for allergies to iodine or shellfish is a priority assessment after a peripheral arteriography because contrast dye containing iodine is used during the procedure. An allergic reaction to the dye can be life-threatening and requires immediate intervention.

B) Incorrect - Assessing for pedal pulses bilaterally is important in general, but it is not the priority assessment immediately after a peripheral arteriography.

C) Incorrect - Monitoring blood glucose levels may be relevant for clients with diabetes, but it is not the priority assessment after a peripheral arteriography.

D) Incorrect - Evaluating respiratory rate and oxygen saturation is essential in many post-procedure assessments, but it is not the priority immediately after a peripheral arteriography. The focus is on assessing for any immediate allergic reactions to the contrast dye.
