A nurse is collecting data from a client who requires bed rest and has developed thrombophlebitis. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect when examining the client's leg?

A. More commonly associated with arterial insufficiency, not venous thrombophlebitis. B. Suggests nerve involvement or arterial compromise rather than venous thrombosis. C. Expected in arterial occlusion due to impaired circulation, not in venous clot formation. D. A classic sign of thrombophlebitis because the clot obstructs venous return, leading to swelling, warmth, redness, and tenderness in the affected extremity.
