A friend complains to you about the painful varicose veins in her legs. After recommending that she see her doctor, what could you suggest to relieve her discomfort?

B) She should stop drinking fluids so that her body has time to absorb the excess fluids that have built up in her legs.
C) She should walk around so that the muscle in her legs can push against the walls of her veins and push her blood upward.
D) Should remove any item of clothing that creates pressure against her legs (socks or stockings) so that the blood is free to move.
