    A nurse is contributing to the care plan of a client who is postoperative and has an increased risk for deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan? (Select all that apply)

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Applying compression stockings promotes venous return and helps prevent DVT formation. B. Massaging calves and thighs is contraindicated because it can dislodge a thrombus and cause embolization. C. Measuring the affected limb helps monitor for asymmetry, swelling, or progression of DVT. D. Encouraging fluids helps prevent hemoconcentration and reduces clotting risk. E. Assisting with prescribed exercises promotes circulation and prevents venous stasis, lowering the risk for DVT.
