What is the primary consequence of weakened venous valves or abnormalities in venous walls?

• Increased arterial pressure
• Decreased blood flow to the heart
• Backward blood flow and increased pressure in the peripheral venous system
• Reduced oxygenation of blood

What term is used to describe the increased pressure in the peripheral venous system due to backward blood flow?

• Arterial hypertension
• Venous hypertension
• Pulmonary hypertension
• Systemic hypertension

What can sustained venous hypertension lead to over time?

• Acute arterial disease
• Chronic venous disease progressing to severe stages
• Immediate heart failure
• Sudden drop in blood pressure

What should be assessed to exclude an underlying arterial disease in a patient?

• Blood pressure
• ABPI (Ankle-Brachial Pressure Index)
• Heart rate
• Oxygen saturation

By exerting external pressure, compression stockings help prevent blood pooling and reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

• True
• False

Gradient compression stockings are tightest around your ankle, the pressure decreases gradually as they go up your leg. This design encourages the blood flow back to your heart, e.g. helping to reduce risk of blood clots

• True
• False

How did Conrad Jobst transfer the relief he felt into a practical solution?

• By creating elastic stockings with perfect fit and gradient pressure
• By developing a new medication
• By designing a specialized swimming pool
• By inventing a new surgical technique

What is the principal component in providing compression in elastic stockings?

• Elastic inlay yarn
• Cotton fibers
• Nylon threads
• Polyester fabric

What does the body yarn contribute to in a garment?

• Color and pattern
• Stiffness or stretch ability
• Weight and density
• Durability

In Jobst Ulcer Care what level of graduated compression is provided in effective VLU management designed for patients' self-management?

• 20 mmHg
• 30 mmHg
• 40 mmHg
• 50 mmHg
