Q

contractures can be created from fibrosis and hard indurations of skin from laying down of collagen

A

persistent chronic edema (lymphedema)

17
Q

area of tissue breakdown and necrosis secondary to impaired venous circulation

A

venous stasis ulcers

18
Q

contraindications of compression

A

19
Q

precautions of compression

A

Q

3 applications of compression

A

bandaging, garments, intermittent compression pump

21
Q

bandaging is applied blank to blank

A

distal, proximal

22
Q

semirigid bandage formed by zinc oxide-impregnated gauze applied to the lower extremity

A

unna boot

23
Q

compression bandaging is like ice because it does not

A

decrease existing edema

24
Q

pressure of compression should never be greater than blank pressure

A

systolic

25
Q

intermittent compression pump can blank edema

A

reverse existing

26
Q

compression causes a change in blank pressure

A

capillary filtration
