When instructing a client who has been newly diagnosed with vasospastic disorder (Raynaud's phenomenon) about management of care, the nurse should discuss which of the following topics?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Raynaud's phenomenon is often associated with connective tissue diseases (e.g., scleroderma, lupus), especially secondary Raynaud's. Discussing follow-up monitoring for these conditions is essential for early detection and management. Sympathectomy, beta blockers, and angioplasty are not first-line or relevant interventions.
