Answer 1

A client with peripheral vascular disease has weak pedal pulses and the right foot is cool and pale. The nursing diagnosis of the right foot being cool and pale has the highest priority.

This is due to the fact that peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is a broad "umbrella term" that encompasses a wide range of circulatory illnesses. Not only do these disorders impact arteries, but also veins and lymphatic vessels. They can also show up in places other than the legs, such as the arms, neck, and face.

PVD can damage any blood artery outside of the heart, along with the arteries, veins, and lymphatic vessels. Organs supplied by all these vessels, including the brain and legs, may not receive enough blood flow to operate properly. The legs and feet are the most usually affected and is a nursing diagnosis.
