Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a contraindication for heat therapy? A. Abdominal aortic aneurysm B. Phlebitis C. Osteoarthritis D. Peripheral neuropathy CORRECT ANSWER>>>: D Rationale: Peripheral neuropathy is a contraindication for heat therapy because clients with neuropathy have impaired sensation and cannot perceive pain or burning, placing them at high risk for thermal injury. Heat therapy is often used for phlebitis to promote circulation and comfort. Osteoarthritis may benefit from heat to reduce stiffness. Abdominal aortic aneurysm is not directly related to localized heat therapy for a foot injury. Key Tip: Always assess sensory function before applying heat or cold therapy.
