The client is admitted with a suspected deep vein thrombosis. Which diagnostic test is most likely to confirm the diagnosis?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Venous ultrasound is the most effective test to confirm deep vein thrombosis, visualizing clots in the veins. D-dimer is sensitive but not specific, and chest X-ray and ABGs are irrelevant.
