Ans: D
Feedback:
Anticoagulants, immobilization, and elevation of the affected extremity are used in the treatment of DVT. Interventions that are used to prevent DVT (ambulation; compression stockings; compression devices) may be harmful when a DVT is present. Surgery is not normally required, and massage has the potential to dislodge a DVT.
