How frequently should TED hose be checked?

  1. Every 1 hour

  2. Every 2 hours

  3. Every 3 hours

  4. Every 4 hours

The correct answer is: Every 1 hour

TED hose are medical stockings used to help prevent blood clots and improve circulation in patients who are immobile or have restricted movement. These hose should be checked frequently to ensure they are properly fitted and functioning as intended. Checking them every 1 hour is important because it allows for any adjustments to be made or any issues to be addressed in a timely manner. Checking them every 2, 3, or 4 hours may not provide enough frequency to catch any potential problems. Therefore, option A is the most appropriate choice for the best patient care.
