For the past few days, a client has been having calf pain and notices that the painful calf is larger than the other one. The right calf is red, warm, achy, and tender to touch. Which of the following questions about the pain should the nurse include in the assessment
A. "Does the pain worsen in the morning upon rising"
B. "Does the pain increase with activity and lessen with rest"
C. "Is the pain relieved by position changes"
D. "Is the pain worse with the toes pointed toward the knee\
参考答案：D
解析：The client’s symptoms indicate deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Pointing toes toward the knee will elicit discomfort. The time of the day doesn’t influence the pain associated with DVT. A client with intermittent claudication experiences pain that increases during activity and decreases with rest. A dependent position will increase venous stasis and the pain associated with DVT.
