Family Health Nursing focuses its action on the user and family and, due to its centrality and proximity, it is the main responsible for monitoring chronic diseases, where leg ulcers stand out. Given the complications that they represent in the user and family, it is essential that the Family Nurse masters their characteristics, to distinguish their etiology, as well as the different treatments available, adapting them to the particularities and background of the user. Compressive therapy is a good alternative to apply to venous ulcers, if the essential criteria for its application are met. It is up to the Nurse to evaluate them and, when properly instructed, their application, to enhance health gains and cost adequacy.
