The nurse should tell this patient that as the aneurysm is located in the extremity and is asymptomatic, no treatment is necessary. Peripheral aneurysms in the extremities are typically asymptomatic and do not require treatment due to their low risk of rupture. Treatment of peripheral aneurysms depends on the presence of symptoms, the location of the aneurysm, and whether the blood flow through the artery is blocked.
