The nurse is assessing a client and notices that the client has a bunion on the left great toe. About what should the nurse question this client?
1. Past calluses on the joint
2. Whether the client stands to work
3. Sleeping position
4. Wearing of narrow-toed shoes
Answer: 4
1. Part of the bunion is a callus, and past callus formation on other parts of the foot will not affect the bunion.
2. Working in a standing position does not cause bunions, but it can aggravate them, once formed.
3. Sleeping position does not affect a bunion.
4. The client who wears pointed-toed shoes and/or high heels causes the great toe to bend away from midline, eventually causing the joint to enlarge.
