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.
