Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4

The bandage should be started distal to the joint to be protected, so it should be started below the knee and worked up the leg to improve venous return.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

The wound should be described in as objective a manner as possible to allow for continuity of care. An objective description allows successive care providers to evaluate changes. The most objective means of describing a wound is using measurements. If measurement is not possible, comparing the wound to a universally understood object would be the next best means of describing the wound. Terms such as small, medium, or large have no universal meaning, and are very subjective. Taking a picture would require the client's signed consent. This is not usually done.
