The client diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis (DVT)? Which clinical manifestation should the nurse anticipate as an expected finding for a client diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis (DVT)?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition characterized by the formation of a blood clot in a deep vein, usually in the leg. One of the most common symptoms of DVT is swelling of the affected extremity. This occurs because the blood clot obstructs the flow of blood, causing fluid to build up in the tissues.
