A capillary refill time greater than 5 seconds suggests poor peripheral perfusion and possible vascular compromise. C. A pulse equal to the unaffected limb indicates normal circulation. D. A limb that is cool to touch suggests decreased blood flow and impaired circulation. E. Patient awareness of touch and temperature indicates intact sensory function, not circulation issues.
