Ans: B
Feedback:
The primary symptom of chronic obstructive arterial disease is pain with walking or claudication. Typically, persons with the disorder complain of calf pain because the gastrocnemius muscle has the highest oxygen consumption of any muscle group in the leg during walking. The extremity will be thin, dry (no edema), and have weak low-pressure pulses due to severely reduced blood flow to the distal vessels.
