Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Sitting with legs crossed should be avoided as it increases stasis of blood. Venous return can be enhanced by elevating the legs several times a day. Elastic support stockings may be prescribed. Obesity compounds the age-related changes of weakened vein walls and reduced ability to respond to increased venous pressure.

Answer to Question 2

B
