How much to remove when trimming dead leaves on a squash plant?

Question

I am specifically asking this regarding a squash plant, but general advice would be useful. If I have dead leaves, which I assume I should remove, should I remove the whole stem that it is growing from, or just the leaf? The stem looks perfectly healthy.

Just remove dead parts is the general rule, provided the stem or branch is healthy.
