Chapter 15: Intermittent Pneumatic Compression Devices
++
++
++
One of the roles of the lymphatic system is to remove excess proteins from interstitial fluid.
++
++
++
++
++
+
++
++
++
++
The lymphatic system runs parallel to the arterial system.
++
++
++
++
++
+
++
++
++
++
None of the lymphatic vessels has muscular linings.
++
++
++
++
++

++
++
++
Excessive accumulation of lymph fluid in subcutaneous tissues is called
++
++
++
++
++
++
++
++
++
+
++
++
++
++
++
++
++
a. endothelial cells and fibrils
++
++
b. a transparent, slightly yellow liquid found in lymphatic vessels
++
++
c. the fluid in extracellular space
++
++
d. blood and joint fluid in the joint
+
++
b. a transparent, slightly yellow liquid found in lymphatic vessels
++
++
++
Which of the following are responsible for lymph movement?
++
++
++
++
++
b. active and passive movements
++
++
++
++
+
++
++
++
++
At what minimum setting should the pressure be when using intermittent pneumatic compression devices?
++
++
++
a. greater than or equal to 30 mmHg
++
++
b. greater than or equal to 100 mmHg
++
++
c. approximately systolic pressure
++
++
d. approximately diastolic pressure
+
++
a. greater than or equal to 30 mmHg
++
++
++
How long should most intermittent pneumatic compression treatments last, bearing in mind patient comfort?
