Leg exercises promote venous blood flow and prevent venous stasis while the client is still on bed rest. Limiting oral intake will produce hemoconcentration, which may lead to thrombophlebitis. The client may not have full return of leg movements, and ambulating is contraindicated. The blanket behind the knees will cause pressure and decrease venous blood flow.
