    A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client about how to prevent the onset of manifestations of Raynaud's phenomenon. Which of the following statements should the nurse identify as an indication that the client needs further teaching?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. "I will complete the smoking cessation program I started.": Smoking causes vasoconstriction and worsens Raynaud’s; cessation reduces episodes. B. "I will keep my house at a cool temperature.": Cold triggers vasospasm in Raynaud’s; the client should keep environments warm, not cool. C. "I will try to anticipate and avoid stressful situations.": Emotional stress can precipitate vasospasm; stress reduction helps prevent attacks. D. "I will wear gloves when removing food from the freezer.": Protecting hands from cold exposure (gloves, warm clothing) prevents attacks.
