Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Green leafy vegetables contain vitamin K.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Using active or passive leg exercises for a patient on bed rest will prevent clot formation. Assessing pulses is not a preventive measure. Adequate hydration promotes fluidity of the blood and decreases the risk of clot formation. Placing pressure against the popliteal space will increase the risk of clot formation.
