Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best interventions for lymphedema include manual lymph drainage (a gentle massage technique that encourages the movement of lymph fluid), and elevation of the affected limb to reduce swelling. Other interventions can include compression garments, exercise, and skin care. Strengthening and stretching may also be helpful, but are not as effective as manual lymph drainage and elevation.
