The home health nurse teaches the client with chronic lymphedema of the left arm secondary to treatment for breast cancer the importance of removing the intermittent pressure device used for the affected arm at least every 8 hours.
 
  The best rationale for this teaching measure is because this device: 1. Causes pain in the affected extremity, and when removed periodically, the client comfort is promoted.
   2. Compresses small vessels, and without periodic removal, tissues nourished by these vessels can break down.
   3. Exerts continuous pressure and can cause a rebound effect and lead to more lymphatic fluid if not interrupted.
   4. Moves edema from the distal to proximal area of the arm, and periodic removal will increase effectiveness of treatment.
