The doctor has ordered either heat or cold treatments for the older adult patient with a leg injury. The nursing care plan reflects secondary diagnoses of peripheral vascular disease (PVD), diabetes, and allergy to latex
Which of the ordered treatments would the nurse ad-minister, and why? 1. The nurse will use cold because diabetics and persons with latex allergies are heat-intolerant. 2. The nurse will use the cold for this patient with a fracture because the cold will help set the cast. 3. The nurse will use heat because cold is contraindicated for patients with periph-eral vascular disease. 4. The nurse will use heat because that will speed up circulation and increase infec-tion in the injured part.
