How long should TED hose be removed for every 8 hours of use?

  1. 10 minutes

  2. 20 minutes

  3. 30 minutes

  4. 40 minutes

The correct answer is: 10 minutes

Removing TED hose for 10 minutes every 8 hours of use helps to promote circulation and prevent blood clots in the legs. This is recommended for individuals who are immobile or have a history of blood clots. Choosing options B, C, or D, which are longer time frames, may increase the risk of blood clots. Therefore, 10 minutes is the optimal time frame for removing TED hose to maintain good circulation and prevent complications.
