While working in the outpatient clinic, the nurse notes that the client has a history of intermittent claudication. Which statement by the client would support this information?

"My legs cramp when I walk more than a block."

"I get short of breath when I climb a lot of stairs."

"When I stand for too long, my feet start to swell."

"My fingers hurt when I go outside in cold weather."

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

A. Intermittent claudication is characterized by cramping pain in the legs during physical activity, such as walking, due to insufficient blood flow, typically caused by peripheral arterial disease (PAD). This statement aligns with the symptoms of claudication.

B. Shortness of breath during physical exertion is more indicative of cardiovascular or pulmonary issues, not intermittent claudication.

C. Swelling in the feet from standing for extended periods is more consistent with venous insufficiency rather than intermittent claudication.

D. Pain in the fingers due to cold weather suggests Raynaud’s phenomenon, not intermittent claudication.
