The nurse assesses that a client has nailbed clubbing. Which additional information is consistent with this finding?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Absent deep tendon reflexes: This is unrelated to nailbed clubbing. B. Capillary refill less than 3 seconds: Capillary refill time of less than 3 seconds is normal and not associated with clubbing. C. 3+ peripheral dependent edema: This is indicative of fluid retention and not related to nailbed clubbing. D. Oxygen saturation of 85%: Low oxygen saturation is commonly associated with chronic respiratory or cardiovascular conditions, which can lead to clubbing of the nails. Clubbing is often a sign of chronic hypoxia.
