Massage, elevation and compression wraps. The OT should recommend edema control techniques to nursing staff to help reduce edema in Candy’s left arm as soon as possible. She can train the staff in anti-edema massage techniques, as well as how to elevate Candy’s arm and how to use compression wraps or garments effectively to reduce edema. Marked as spam
