1. Question
A nurse is teaching a client about the use of antiembolism stockings. What instruction should the nurse include?
CorrectOption 3 is the correct answer:
Rationale: Support hose apply external pressure on the veins, preventing the retrograde pressure or flow that may occur in the standing or sitting positions; application before arising prevents the veins from having the opportunity to become engorged. 1 If this schedule is followed, at some point the feet will be dependent before the stockings are put on; venous pooling and edema may occur; application of elastic stockings at this time can cause tissue trauma. 2 They usually need not be worn while in bed with the feet elevated during sleep because gravity prevents venous pooling. 4 Stockings must be removed so that the legs can be washed and dried at least daily.

Antiembolism Stockings:
Use antiembolism stockings or sequential compression stockings as prescribed; encourage the client to flex and extend the feet to reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
