Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Deep breathing and coughing exercises should be part of regular postoperative nursing care to prevent clot formation. Knees should not be flexed. TED stockings require a physician's order. Early, regular ambulation should be encouraged after surgery.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Dipyridamole has been used extensively in combination with warfarin to prevent the formation of thromboembolism after cardiac valve replacement. Heparin is used to prevent clotting after myocardial infarction. Transient ischemic attacks are often treated with aspirin. Transplant patients are treated postoperatively with immunosuppressant medications.
