AB  - PAD  results  from  atherosclerosis  of  the  arteries  that  extend  through  the  extremities.  Narrowing  of  the  arteries  reduces  blood  flow  to  the  limbs,  which  results  in  pain,  pallor,  and  paresthesias.  Intermittent  claudication  is  associated  with  PAD,  with  individuals  describing  burning  and  cramping  pain  in  the  legs  during  walking  activities.  Risk  factors  for  PAD  include  smoking,  hypertension,  and  low  levels  of  high-density  lipoprotein  cholesterol.  Clients  with  PAD  have  limited  standing  and  walking  abilities  due  to  intermittent  claudication,  which  slows  their  walking  speed  and  changes  their  gait  pattern.  The  presence  of  coronary  heart  disease  also  limits  their  capacity  for  physical  activities.  As  the  disease  process  advances,  the  patient  tolerates  fewer  standing  and  walking  activities.
