Question 1 of 5
The client has midcalf pain when walking a block or more. The client states that the discomfort is relieved with rest. The pain is expected when arterial occlusion reaches which of the following percentages?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Claudication typically occurs when arterial occlusion reaches approximately 50%, significantly reducing blood flow to muscles during activity. This causes ischemia and pain, which is relieved by rest when oxygen demand decreases. Complete (100%) occlusion would cause rest pain or tissue necrosis, not just claudication.
