Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Applying the tourniquet to the upper thigh and determining the valve potency of the superficial veins is the appropriate nursing action during a Brodie-Trendelenburg test for clients with varicose veins. Encouraging the client to ask questions and offering assurance about the safety of the tourniquet can also be helpful, but they are not the primary nursing actions during the test. Discussing the client's anxiety with the physician may be necessary if the client is experiencing significant distress, but it is not directly related to the test itself.
