Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a postoperative client. Which procedure places the client at highest risk for DVT?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Hip arthroplasty. This procedure involves prolonged immobility, causing blood stasis and increasing the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The reduced blood flow in the legs can lead to clot formation. Appendectomy (
A), cholecystectomy (
C), and tonsillectomy (
D) are not typically associated with prolonged immobility like hip arthroplasty, thus lower DVT risk.
