Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Edema, or swelling in the legs, is a common symptom of venous disease.
Hair loss distal to the client’s calves (choice B) is not a typical symptom of venous vascular disorder.
Leg pain at rest (choice C) can be a symptom of peripheral vascular disease but is not specific to venous vascular disorder.
An ulcer on the tip of a toe (choice D) can be a sign of arterial vascular disorder but is not specific to venous vascular disorder.

A. Ensure that the client has a 22-gauge IV line in place. B. Provide ketorolac for abdominal pain. C. Administer nitroprusside IV based on the client's weight. D. Insert a large-bore nasogastric tube.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

The nurse should plan to insert a large-bore nasogastric tube for a client who has upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to a peptic ulcer.

This allows for gastric lavage and can help diagnose the source of bleeding.
Choice A is wrong because a 22-gauge IV line may be too small for rapid fluid resuscitation.
Choice B is wrong because ketorolac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that can increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.
Choice C is wrong because nitroprusside is a vasodilator used to treat hypertensive emergencies and is not typically used for upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
