Question 2 of 5

You're developing a plan of care for a patient who is at risk for the development of a deep vein thrombosis after surgery. What nursing intervention below would the nurse NOT include in the patient's plan of care to prevent DVT formation?

A. The patient will eat all meals out of the bed daily by sitting in the bedside chair. B. The nurse will apply sequential compression devices (SCDs) per physician's order to the patient's lower extremities every night at bedtime. C. The nurse will administer per physician's order Enoxaparin in the subcutaneous tissue of the abdomen. D. The patient will ambulate daily.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Yes, the nurse would apply SCDs per MD order to help prevent DVTs, BUT they are to be applied and worn by the patient anytime they are in bed or sitting. The only time a patient should not wear the SCDs is when they're ambulating.
Therefore, the nurse would NOT just apply them at bedtime but during the day too.

A. Tossed salad, rice, and iced tea B. Apple sandwich on whole wheat bread and coffee C. Meatless chili with beans, corn bread, and milk D. Chicken soup, gelatin, and sweetened lemonade
