Restrictive stockings should not be worn in order to decrease the risk of impeding circulation to the lower extremities. Clients with neuropathy is at risk for injury to their feet because of im-paired sensation. By examining all areas of the feet daily, the client can identify potential prob-lems early. Thoroughly drying the feet minimizes risk for fungal infections and skin breakdown.
