A patient is demonstrating signs of ineffective peripheral tissue perfusion. What intervention would be appropriate for this patient?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Smoking is a major risk factor for ineffective peripheral tissue perfusion, so discussing smoking cessation techniques would be an appropriate intervention for the patient. Encouraging the patient to reduce exercise would not necessarily address the underlying cause of the problem, and keeping extremities cool or assisting with pillow placement would not necessarily improve tissue perfusion.
