Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
In many patients, weight loss will aid in improving circulation to and from the legs. Elastic stockings provide some external pressure that may also help. Standing aggravates the problem of stasis as much as sitting does. In some patients, vein stripping is useful, but not in all; also, vascular surgeons may counsel patients to save their veins for possible use in bypass operations.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Elders have a right to privacy and a right to sexual expression. Their sexuality should not be sanctioned, screened, or severed by anyone, even in an institutional setting. The older residents have a right to privacy and should be able to close and lock a door. The adult children of the residents should not be consulted about the situation. It is really none of their business.
