The client is diagnosed with arterial occlusive disease. Which information should the nurse discuss with the client?
ExplanationWalking will help increase collat- eral circulation, which will, in turn, increase the blood supply to the lower extremities. Increasing fluid intake will not help; the client does not experience orthostatic hypotension or take medications that would cause it; and acetaminophen is not prescribed to treat arterial occlusive disease.
