Today’s video is all about PAD vs PVI (Peripheral Arterial Disease and Peripheral Vascular Insufficiency) for Nursing Students and NCLEX Review.

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and peripheral vascular insufficiency (PVI) are two related conditions that affect the legs.

The arteries in the lower legs become narrowed or blocked, making it difficult for blood to flow through them. This can lead to pain and loss of sensation in a patient’s legs, as well as numbness or tingling in your feet and toes.

As a nurse, you can help manage the symptoms by encouraging lifestyle changes like eating better and exercising more often. There are also other options available such as medications or surgery.
