DVT & PE EXAM QUESTIONS WITH
100% CORRECT ANSWERS LATEST
VERSION 2025/2026.
DVT - ANS deep vein thrombosis
DVT is a - ANS Blood clot in a large vein, usually leg or pelvis
DVT risk factors correlated with - ANS Virchow's Triad
Virchow's Triad - ANS Virchow's triad is a theory that describes the three main factors that
lead to blood clot (thrombus) formation: endothelial injury, stasis or altered blood flow, and
hypercoagulability. This triad is fundamental in understanding the pathogenesis of conditions
like deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism.
DVT clinical manifestations - ANS pain, swelling, tenderness, discoloration, redness, warmth
DVT diagnosis is by - ANS Ultrasound
D-dimer

, D-dimer - ANS blood clot test
blood test that checks for the presence of a protein fragment produced when a blood clot
breaks down. It helps diagnose or rule out blood clotting disorders like deep vein thrombosis
(DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE). While a high D-dimer result can indicate a clot, further
imaging tests like an ultrasound or CT scan are needed for a definitive diagnosis, as other
conditions can also cause elevated levels.
Trauma can cause DVT by - ANS Causing inflammation & swelling wh/ can trap the blood &
dec blood flow to that area causing an increased risk of DVT
Thicker blood can - ANS Cause DVT
-if patient is vomiting/ having diarrhea= dehydrated= causing thicker blood wh/ is a risk for DVT
-encourage hydration
What about vessels contribute to developing a DVT - ANS Vasoconstriction-smaller vessels
cause less space for blood to flow, causing it to build up
Smoking causes - ANS vasoconstriction causing more risk for DVT & hypertension
Lack of ______ can increase risk for DVT - ANS Lack of mobility
-that is why VTE prophylaxis is important during hospital stay
VTE prophylaxis - ANS Preventive measures against venous thromboembolism.
