B, C, E
Feedback:
Interventions to reduce the development of varicosities while pregnant include taking walk breaks, resting in the Sims position, and resting with the legs elevated on a foot stool. Jogging in place will not reduce the onset of varicosities and might harm the patient and fetus. The patient should increase the intake of vitamin C, and not vitamin D, because vitamin C strengthens vein walls.
