If a patient suffers from poor circulation, his or her hand may be what?

  1. Warm

  2. Cold

  3. Sweaty

  4. Dry

The correct answer is: Cold

A person with poor circulation may have cold hands due to reduced blood flow and oxygen supply to the extremities. The other options are incorrect because a warm hand could indicate normal or increased blood flow, a sweaty hand could be a sign of hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), and a dry hand is not typically associated with poor circulation.
