a) "I will avoid standing or sitting for long periods."
b) "I plan to wear compression stockings as prescribed."
c) "I will elevate my legsWhen resting."
d) "I will avoid wearing tight-fitting clothing."

Answer 1

The correct client statements that indicate an understanding of the prevention of complications from varicose veins are: a) "I will avoid standing or sitting for long periods." b) "I plan to wear compression stockings as prescribed." c) "I will elevate my legs when resting."

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct client statements that indicate an understanding of the prevention of complications from varicose veins are:

• a) "I will avoid standing or sitting for long periods."
• b) "I plan to wear compression stockings as prescribed."
• c) "I will elevate my legs when resting."

These preventive measures help promote blood flow and reduce swelling and pressure in the veins. Avoiding long periods of standing or sitting helps prevent blood from pooling in the leg veins. Wearing compression stockings improves circulation and provides support to the veins. And elevating the legs when resting helps reduce swelling and promote venous return.
