    A nurse is measuring a client for knee-high antiembolic stockings to help prevent venous stasis. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. To ensure proper fit of knee-high antiembolic stockings, the nurse should measure from the heel to the popliteal space. B. Measuring from the heel to the gluteal fold is appropriate for thigh-high stockings, not knee-high stockings. C. Measuring the length of the client’s feet does not ensure correct stocking length or fit. D. Ankle circumference is measured for compression stockings that require custom sizing, but it is not needed for standard knee-high antiembolic stockings.
