Transcript text: When assessing a client's foot, how would the nurse document an exaggerated arch height?
Solution
When assessing a client's foot, a nurse would document an exaggerated arch height as "pes cavus."
Explanation:
"Pes cavus" is the medical term used to describe a foot with an abnormally high arch. This condition can lead to various issues, such as foot pain, instability, and difficulty fitting into shoes.
It is important for the nurse to accurately document this condition to ensure appropriate follow-up care and potential interventions, such as orthotics or physical therapy, to address any associated symptoms or complications.
