One of the patients whom you were working with last week was initially evaluated via
volumeter for the presence of edema in her nondominant left hand. Today is her fourth session and you have been asked to reassess the presence of edema. Which of the following scenarios is most likely and why?

Selecciona una de las siguientes respuestas posibles:

  • You use a volumeter again and determine that the volume displaced today is less than it was on the first visit. She has improved.
