A nurse is collecting data from a client who has peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

A. Intermittent claudication. Claudication (exercise-induced muscle pain relieved by rest) is a classic symptom of PAD due to inadequate arterial blood flow with exertion. B. Warm extremities. PAD causes decreased blood flow, so affected extremities are typically cool or cold. C. Darkened skin color near extremities. PAD more often causes pallor on elevation and dependent rubor; venous disease may produce hyperpigmentation. D. Edema. Edema is more common with venous insufficiency than with arterial occlusive disease.
