Raynaud's Disease

Raynaud's Disease ( 33 Questions)

A nurse is educating a client about lifestyle modifications to manage Raynaud's disease. Which of the following strategies should the nurse recommend to the client?


Correct Answer: B

A) Exposure to cold environments can worsen Raynaud's symptoms and should be avoided. Desensitization to cold is not a recommended strategy for managing the condition.

B) Avoiding stressors, such as exposure to cold temperatures and emotional stress, can help minimize Raynaud's episodes. Stress is a common trigger for Raynaud's disease, and reducing stress can lead to fewer and less severe episodes.

C) Wearing tight gloves and socks can restrict blood flow and worsen Raynaud's symptoms. Instead, loose-fitting, insulated gloves and socks are recommended.

D) Engaging in activities that cause vasoconstriction, such as smoking or using certain medications, can exacerbate Raynaud's symptoms. Clients should be advised to avoid such activities.
