I would insert a large bore needle because if an aneurysm rupture the patient will need fluids and/or blood transfusion.

I would think D.
To assess that all pulse sites are equal, and one is not weak or bounding.

I would first assess. In the question, the nurse has not done any form of assessment yet so you could not yet perform an intervention.
