Condition
Peripheral Edema
A one-page care plan for patients with Peripheral Edema, covering Purpose, Prevention & Protection, Education & Expectations, Nutrition & Next Steps, Consistency, Indications and Lifestyle & Long-Term Success.
In this plan
Purpose, Prevention & Protection
- I tell my team promptly about new swelling, especially if I am pregnant or only one leg swells.
- I raise my legs while resting if my team says this is safe for me.
- I move my ankles and walk as able instead of sitting still for long periods.
- I ask before starting compression socks or taking a water pill for swelling.
