Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Intermittent claudication—exercise-induced leg pain relieved by rest—is a hallmark of PAD due to reduced arterial blood flow. Darkened skin occurs but is less specific. Warm extremities and edema suggest venous, not arterial, issues. Claudication directly reflects PAD’s ischemic nature.
