As nurses it is our job to do everything we can to keep these issues to a minimum during every patients stay. During my time at clinical I watched nurses complete multiple pre-emptive measures to keep their patients from getting ulcers and deep vein thrombosis. Decubitus ulcers were very rare at KU…

Introduction: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) [i.e., pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT)] is a common complication during and after a hospital admission. Further, VTE is a leading cause of major complications and death after major orthopedic surgery. To avoid the development of VTE after orthopedic surgery, it is essential to reduce the onset of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and to diagnose DVT early. It leads to early diagnosis to find a risk factor of DVT from medical history of…
