Proper nursing interventions, when conducted appropriately, help to greatly reduce the possibility of all of the following complications, except:

• A. Arteriosclerosis
• B. Infection
• C. Pressure ulcers
• D. Venous thromboembolism

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that nursing care aims to prevent problems that arise from immobility, wounds, and poor circulation. Proper interventions can greatly reduce infection risk through strict hand hygiene, sterile wound care, and infection control practices. They also prevent pressure ulcers by turning and re-positioning patients, protecting the skin, keeping it clean and dry, and ensuring good nutrition and moisture management. To cut down on venous thromboembolism, nurses promote early mobilization, use compression devices when indicated, and ensure medications and prophylaxis are followed as ordered, along with leg exercises to improve circulation. Arteriosclerosis, however, is a chronic vascular condition driven by long-term factors such as age, smoking, high cholesterol, hypertension, and diabetes. While nursing care can help manage these risk factors and educate patients to slow progression, it cannot be dramatically reduced by routine nursing interventions in the same way as infections, pressure ulcers, or venous thromboembolism.
