A patient at the clinic 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

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