Peripheral Vascular Disease

The clinic nurse is caring for the female client diagnosed with venous insufficiency. Which intervention should the nurse implement?

Explanation1: The client should elevate her feet to help decrease edema. A low-sodium diet will not help decrease the lower extremity edema; wearing open-toed shoes will not help; and as the client does not have decreased vision, the client can cut her own toenails.
