A nurse is taking an admission history from a client who reports Raynaud's disease. Which of the following assessment findings should the nurse identify as a potential trigger for exacerbations of Raynaud's?

A history of herpes zoster

Taking amlodipine for hypertension

Using a nicotine transdermal patch

Eating a strict vegetarian diet

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

C. Nicotine is a vasoconstrictor, meaning it causes narrowing of blood vessels. Therefore, using a nicotine transdermal patch can exacerbate Raynaud's attacks by promoting vasoconstriction and reducing blood flow to the extremities.
A. While herpes zoster (shingles) is a viral infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus, it is not directly associated with triggering Raynaud's attacks.
B. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker medication commonly used to treat hypertension.

D. While diet can potentially influence overall health and vascular function, there is no direct evidence to suggest that a strict vegetarian diet would trigger exacerbations of Raynaud's disease.
