Complete the diagram by dragging from the choices below to specify what condition the client is most likely experiencing, 2 actions the nurse should take to address that condition, and 2 parameters the nurse should monitor to assess the client's progress.
Explanation & Rationale
The client presents with classic DVT signs: unilateral lower extremity swelling, warmth, and pain. Risk factors include recent surgery, obesity, smoking, history of DVT, immobility, and age. A lower-extremity Doppler flow study confirms the diagnosis. Clients must be educated NOT to massage the affected leg, as this can dislodge a clot and cause pulmonary embolism. After anticoagulation is initiated, monitoring for bleeding is critical. Temperature monitoring detects infection, which can coexist with DVT.
