4. treatment of lymphedema
5. wound healing - 3name 4 contraindications for compression1. acute hemorrhage
2. Congestive heart failure
3. acute fracture
4. kidney dysfunction - 4What is the lymphatic system- a parrell circuit to the circulatory system
-assists with the removal of fluid and waste products from the environment
-blocks infection (lymph nodes)

4. spleen - 6Why is blood pressure something that should be monitored while using compression devices- it affects fluid in the interstitial space
- if BP is higher the in interstitial space then flood moves from vessels into the space
- if pressure is exerted outside the interstitial space than fluid cannot escape - 7what is EDEMA?- well localized condition where the body contains excessive amount of fluid in the interstitial space
