Peripheral vascular disease ( 35 Questions)
This choice is incorrect because limiting fluid intake is not a standard post-procedure instruction following angioplasty with stent placement. Adequate hydration is important for recovery and overall health.
This choice is incorrect because walking is generally encouraged following angioplasty with stent placement. Early mobilization helps prevent complications such as blood clots and promotes blood flow through the treated vessel.
This choice is correct. After angioplasty with stent placement, clients are often prescribed dual antiplatelet therapy, which typically includes aspirin and another antiplatelet medication such as clopidogrel. Dual antiplatelet therapy helps prevent blood clots from forming around the stent and reduces the risk of stent re-narrowing (restenosis).
This choice is incorrect because applying ice packs to the incision site is not a standard post-procedure instruction after angioplasty with stent placement. Ice packs are not typically used for this type of procedure, and the incision site is usually managed with sterile dressings and wound care.Questions
