Don the stockings before getting out of bed in the morning.


To prevent distention of the veins, stockings should be applied before the legs are placed in a dependent position. Stockings should be used preventively before the discomfort associated with venous pressure and edema occurs. Knee-high stockings should end 2 inches (5.1 cm) below the knee to avoid popliteal pressure, which limits venous return. Stockings apply uniform pressure. Elastic bandages may slip or develop wrinkles, creating uneven pressure and constriction; edema may result.

List four ways in which members of the same species can cooperate with each other.
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
Cooperation is common in non-human animals. Besides cooperation with an immediate benefit for both actors, this behavior appears to occur mostly between relatives.[1] Spending time and resources assisting a related individual may at first seem destructive to the organism’s chances of survival but is actually beneficial over the long-term. Since relatives share part of their genetic make-up, enhancing each other’s chances of survival may actually increase the likelihood that the helper’s genetic traits will be passed on to future generations.[6] The cooperative pulling paradigm is an experimental design used to assess if and under which conditions animals cooperate. It involves two or more animals pulling rewards towards themselves via an apparatus they can not successfully operate alone.[7]

Rasek [7]
The sympathetic nervous system is a part of the autonomic nervous system that carries stress responses or "flight or flight" responses that involves feelings of rush. The activation of sympathetic nervous system therefore increases the heart rate. The parasympathetic nervous system is another part of the autonomic nervous system which is responsible for "rest and digest" responses that involves feelings of relaxation. The activation of the parasympathetic nervous system decreases the heart rate.
