Which of the following statements made by the nurse best explains the rationale for this instruction? a. "Wearing shoes blocks pain perception and helps you adapt to pain, which ends up protecting your feet." b. "Shoes provide nonpharmacological pain relief to people with diabetes and peripheral neuropathy." c. "Since you cannot feel pain as much in your feet, you need to open your neurological gates to allow pain sensations to come through. Wearing shoes helps to open those gates, which protects your feet." d. "You have lost the ability to withdraw from pain because of your peripheral neuropathy. If you step on something and are not wearing shoes, you will not feel it; this could possibly cause injury to your foot."
