    The patient presented with edema in the lower extremities indicating ineffective tissue perfusion. Upon examination, the edema was found to be moderate and non-pitting, affecting both feet and lower legs. The patient reported swelling only occurred after giving birth. To address this, the patient was instructed to elevate their legs above heart level when possible, avoid prolonged sitting or standing, perform calf exercises when stationary, and ambulate frequently. Following these interventions, the patient's response was positive.
