The nurse should say that the compressive dressing over the residual limb or the stump this prevents the swelling of the stump. Compression of the limb is an effective way to reduce edema (or the accumulation of fluid in the interstitium) since this promotes lymphatic drainage of the fluid from the interstitium.

I need help i dont know what im doing
frosja888 [35]
Hey!

Back when I was finding a school I had the same problem! That reminds me of K12!

So what you do is label the areas L that have low pressure which is areas that are near sea level, kind of cold areas.

For H you label those near the center of the map. Which is more of the HOT areas.

It’s currently cold here, burrrr!!

I’ll provide a picture below.

Awesome seeing someone that went to the same online school!

Have a great day,
Eric

Note: you don’t need to label everywhere. If recommend using the map to guide you!

Reply if you have any further questions!!!!
