NCLEX RN Practice Question

Which action should the nurse take when applying anti-embolism (thrombo-embolic deterrent) stockings to an adult client in order to promote venous return and permit ongoing neurovascular assessment?

  • Select a size that fits tightly over the calf even if the heel pocket is mis-aligned.

  • Apply the stockings while the client sits on the edge of the bed with legs dangling.

  • Fold the top of each stocking down to form a snug cuff that prevents rolling.

  • Position the inspection opening at the ball or sole of the foot so the toes can be checked for colour and temperature.
