A 40-year-old female presents with symmetrical, pitting edema
that is greater distally than proximally. The edema has progressed
over the last 10 years. The patient had a non cancer-related
hysterectomy (no lymph nodes were removed) which coincided
with the onset of her edema. Her BMI was 39 at the onset of the
edema and is currently 56. Her mobility is vastly limited; it is
especially difficult for her to get in and out of her car. Your MLD
sequence should include short neck, abdominal sequence, and
which of the following?
Bilateral axillary nodes only, then bilateral inguinal-axillary
anastomoses.
Bilateral inguinal lymph nodes, but no anastomoses work to the
axilla.
Bilateral axillo-inguinal anastomosis and inter-inguinal
anastomoses.
, Bilateral inguinal and axillary nodes and bilateral inguinal-axillary
anastomoses. - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔>>Bilateral inguinal and axillary
nodes and bilateral inguinal-axillary anastomoses.
A 46-year-old female was referred for home care for evaluation
and treatment. Assessment reveals bilateral lower-extremity
edema. The left lower leg > right lower leg and is mildly pitting.
The thighs are symmetrical with soft tissue-texture. Both feet

BMI of 46. The patient states that her legs have always been
bigger since puberty but the left lower leg became even larger
over the last two years. A brownish discoloration is evident
