The nurse must include in postprocedure teaching to walk for several minutes every hour when awake for a client who had sclerotherapy for varicose veins. Sclerotherapy is the injection of a solution into the vein.

Treatment options for varicose and spider veins are sclerotherapy and surgery. Walking activities are encouraged to improve circulation and dilute the sclerosing agent. Limited activity is contraindicated; inactivity contributes to venous stasis and venous collapse. Compression bandages should be left in place for several days to ensure extrinsic compression of the veins, which enhances venous return. Placing a pillow under the knee while lying in bed is not recommended as it will obstruct the return of the vein.
