Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: The stockings are worn day and night, so the client will not remove them for sleep.
Rationale 2: The stockings should be removed to do this assessment.
Rationale 3: The nurse is responsible for assessing the skin under the stockings and should not assume that the morning nurse's assessment is still accurate 12 hours later.
Rationale 4: The stockings are worn day and night, so the client will not remove them for sleep.
