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.
