A client who works as a data entry clerk is concerned as to how a recent diagnosis of Raynaud's syndrome is going to affect the client's job performance. Which instruction should the nurse provide this client?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Raynaud's involves vasospasm of digital arteries triggered by cold, causing color changes and pain. Keeping the workspace warm prevents vasospasm episodes. Special keyboards address carpal tunnel, not Raynaud's. Hand elevation improves venous return but doesn't prevent vasospasm. Vitamin D supplementation isn't specifically indicated for Raynaud's management.
