Question: 1 / 400

Where is a venous ulcer typically found on a patient?

The medial lower leg and ankle

A venous ulcer is typically found on the medial lower leg and ankle. Venous ulcers usually occur as a result of venous insufficiency, where the veins in the legs have difficulty returning blood back to the heart. This leads to pooling of blood in the lower legs, causing swelling and potentially leading to the development of venous ulcers in this area. The other options (B, C, D) are not typically where venous ulcers are found, making them incorrect choices.
