12. according to the national institute of health, peripheral arterial disease (pad) happens when there is a narrowing of the blood vessels outside of your heart. the cause of pad is atherosclerosis. this can reduce or stop blood flow, usually to the legs, causing them to hurt or feel numb. if severe enough, blocked blood flow can cause tissue death. if this condition is left untreated, a foot or leg may need to be amputated.

based on the passage above, which of the following should be recommended for a patient with pad?

a. exercise to reduce arterial plaque and prescribing blood pressure-reducing medication
b. exercise to reduce embolisms and prescribing blood pressure-reducing medication
c. exercise to reduce arterial plaque and prescribing blood pressure-increasing medication
d. exercise to reduce embolisms and prescribing blood pressure-increasing medication

The right option is A.  

Based on the passage above, exercise to reduce arterial plaque and prescribing blood pressure-reducing medication should be recommended for a patient with PAD.

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is the narrowing of the blood vessels caused by atherosclerotic plaques of arteries outside the heart. This disease can cause reduction of blood circulation through the arteries. Patients with PAD can be treated by; performing regular exercise to reduce arterial plaque, changing their lifestyle (such as quitting smoking) and by using medications (such as blood pressure-reducing medications, cholesterol lowering medications and blood sugar control medications.

photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make atp. the glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. while water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water.
