Question

A weak pedal pulse may indicate poor blood flow to the foot and leg. This is often accompanied by cool skin and diminished hair growth on the limb due to decreased blood flow. Bruising and darkened color are not necessarily related to poor blood flow in this case. Capillary refill time may or may not be affected by poor blood flow, so option E cannot be reliably chosen.
