When assessing an older adult client with arterial insufficiency due to atherosclerosis, the nurse would expect to find the following assessment data:
e) A pea-sized ulcer noted on the client's right great toe, no drainage, well-defined edges.
Arterial insufficiency can lead to poor blood circulation in the extremities, which can result in the development of ulcers, particularly on the toes or feet. The characteristics described in option "e" are consistent with arterial ulcers.
The other options (a, b, c, and d) are not typically associated with arterial insufficiency and may be indicative of other health issues.
Hope this helps you in your adventure
