Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Anti-embolism stockings are used to promote venous blood return to the heart and help in preventing blood clots. They often do help with edema in the legs, but they do not eliminate edema (nor is this their main goal). They do not provide a nonslip foot surface. If applied incorrectly they can increase the risk for impaired skin integrity.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Chairs that can convert into stretchers are available. These are useful with clients who have no weight-bearing capacity, cannot follow directions, and/or cannot cooperate. The back of the chair bends back and the leg supports elevate to form a stretcher configuration, eliminating the need for lifting the client. Powered-stand assist devices and repositioning devices require the client to have weight-bearing capacity in one leg. Gait belts are used to assist clients to ambulate safely.
