Which condition lists an option of two 3-hour sessions?

• A. Lymphedema
• B. Traumatic edema
• C. Venous ulcers
• D. Residual limb reduction

Answer: (A)

Lymphedema management relies on Complete Decongestive Therapy, which includes manual lymph drainage, compression, exercise, and education. In the initial decongestion phase, sessions are longer to thoroughly mobilize lymph fluid and apply compression, often totaling two 3-hour sessions. This extended format helps reduce limb volume more effectively and teaches the patient self-management strategies for a lasting effect. Other conditions like traumatic edema, venous ulcers, or residual limb shaping typically use shorter visits focused on reducing swelling, wound care, or shaping, rather than multiple long sessions. So two 3-hour sessions align with the intensive approach used for lymphedema.
