A  pa6ent  with  peripheral  artery  disease  has  marked  peripheral  neuropathy.  An  appropriate  nursing  diagnosis  for  the  pa6ent  is  a.  Risk  for  injury  related  to  decreased  sensa6on.  b.  Impaired  skin  integrity  related  to  decreased  peripheral  

circula6on.  c.  Ineffec6ve  peripheral  6ssue  perfusion  related  to  decreased  

arterial  blood  flow.  d.  Ac6vity  intolerance  related  to  imbalance  between  oxygen  

supply  and  demand.

Clinical  Manifesta6ons  •  “Intermi[ent  

claudica6on”  –  Ischemic  muscle  pain  that  is  caused  by  a  constant  level  of  exercise  

–  Resolves  within  10  minutes  or  less  with  rest  

–  Reproducible  •  “Paresthesia”  

–  Nerve  6ssue  ischemia  –  Produces  loss  of  pressure  and  deep  pain  sensa6ons  

–  Injuries  o^en  go  unno6ced  by  pa6ent  

•  “Pain”  at  rest  –  As  PAD  progresses  –  Occurs  in  feet  or  toes  –  Aggravated  by  limb  eleva6on  

–  Occurs  from  insufficient  blood  flow  

–  Occurs  more  o^en  at  night

Interprofessional  Care    

EXERCISE  THERAPY  •  Exercise  improves  oxygen  

extrac6on  in  legs  and  skeletal  metabolism  

•  Walking  is  most  effec6ve  exercise  for  individuals  with  claudica6on  –  30  to  45  minutes  daily,  3  

6mes/week  

NUTRITIONAL  THERAPY  •  BMI  <25  kg/m2    •  Waist  circumference  <40  

inches  for  men  and  <35  inches  for  women

Foot  Care:    •  Carefully  inspect,  cleanse,  and  lubricate  feet  to  prevent  

cracking  of  the  skin  and  infec6on  •  If  ulcera6on  is  present,  keep  affected  foot  clean  and  dry.  

Cover  ulcers  with  a  dry,  sterile  dressing  to  maintain  cleanliness  

•  Deep  ulcers  can  be  treated  with  a  variety  of  wound  care  products,  but  healing  is  unlikely  without  increased  blood  flow.  Systemic  an6bio6cs  are  used  in  pa6ents  with  CLI,  skin  ulcera6ons,  and  limb  infec6on  

•  Encourage  the  pa6ent  to  select  so^,  roomy,  and  protec6ve  footwear  and  avoid  extremes  of  heat  and  cold
