In assessing a client with ulcers on the lower extremity, which findings indicate that the ulcers are likely to be of venous, rather than arterial, origin?
Correct answer

Rationale
Irregular shapes and severe edema are typical of venous ulcers due to impaired venous return, unlike arterial ulcers which show signs of poor perfusion.
