How should TED hose be applied?

  1. While residents is standing

  2. While residents is sitting

  3. While residents is lying in bed

  4. While residents is walking

The correct answer is: While residents is lying in bed

TED hose, also known as compression stockings, should be applied while the resident is lying in bed. This is because lying down allows for the most comfortable and effective application of the stockings. Applying them while standing or sitting can be difficult and can cause the stockings to become uneven, resulting in uneven compression. Applying them while walking can also be difficult and may cause the stockings to slip down. Overall, lying in bed is the best position for applying TED hose.
