Jince is being trained in assessing a patient's blood pressure in the lower extremity using the popliteal artery. To accurately identify the highest pressure exerted by blood on the arterial wall, the student should be instructed to listen for:

A. Sudden muffling, with a soft blowing quality

B. A second round of intense rhythmic tapping after a brief pause

C. A murmur or swishing sound

D. The first clear, faint rhythmic tapping sounds
