What should you ensure when applying TED hose?

  1. The resident is sitting

  2. Legs are between 12-24 inches apart

  3. Hands are sanitized

  4. Room temperature is comfortable

The correct answer is: The resident is sitting

Proper positioning and comfort are important when applying TED hose to residents. Applying them while the resident is sitting allows for the hose to be properly fitted and prevents unnecessary movement that could cause discomfort or misplacement of the hose. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not address the specific action or need for applying TED hose. Positioning of the legs or hands or room temperature do not play a role in the application of TED hose.
