Answer to Question 1

ANS: C, D
Compression stockings are worn all day but need to be removed at bedtime. It is important to wash the feet and legs with mild soap and water frequently.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
If the client becomes off-balance, self-correction is very slow, so falls are common. While the client is monitored for depression, suicide is not a common risk for injury. Bleeding ulcers and respiratory arrest are not generally recognized as caused by this disease.
