Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D
Diagnostic tests for DVT include D-dimer (a fibrin degradation product), venous duplex ultrasound, and possibly an MRI. The venogram is contraindicated in pregnancy. A V/Q scan might be ordered if a question of pulmonary embolism existed, but in pregnancy, a spiral CT scan would be the better option.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, E
Risk factors for PPD include undesired/unplanned pregnancy, history of depression, recent major life change, isolation due to lack of family/social support or recent move into a new community, financial stress, marital problems, being an adolescent, low self-esteem, and homelessness. Being a stay-at-home mother may or may not cause financial stress, so the nurse would have to assess this condition further.
