During an Assessment of a 63-Year-Old Patient at the Clinic

During an assessment of a 63-year-old patient at the clinic, the patient says, "I have always taken an evening walk, but lately my leg cramps and hurts after just a few minutes of walking. The pain goes away after I stop walking, though." The nurse should

A) ask about any skin color changes that occur in response to cold.
B) check for the presence of tortuous veins bilaterally on the legs.
C) assess for unilateral swelling, redness, and tenderness of either leg.
D) attempt to palpate the dorsalis pedis and posterial tibial pulses.
