How should you be positioned when applying TED hose?

  1. Feet close together

  2. Legs 30 inches apart

  3. Legs between 12-24 inches apart

  4. Sitting

The correct answer is: Feet close together

When applying TED hose, you should stand with your feet close together. This allows for easier access to pull the hose up, and prevents you from overstretching or twisting your back. Option B of having your legs 30 inches apart is incorrect because it is too wide of a stance and can cause instability and difficulty with balance. Option C, having your legs between 12-24 inches apart, is also incorrect because it is still too wide and may cause the same issues as option B. Option D, sitting, is incorrect because it can make it difficult to reach your feet and pull up the hose properly.
