Jeanine is applying anti-embolism stockings to a patient. How should she do it?

Answer

When applying anti-embolism stockings, the healthcare worker should stand at the foot of the patient's bed facing the patient and work their way up. This ensures proper alignment, prevents the stockings from twisting, and allows for even application of pressure without having to awkwardly reach across the patient's body, which could cause strain or improper placement.
