Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Assessing the client's extremities for skin color, capillary refill time, and tissue integrity is important when evaluating for thrombosis, as these factors may indicate poor circulation or clot formation. Examining mental and emotional status, pain around the shoulder and neck region, and skin lesions may be important for other assessments, but are not specific to evaluating for thrombosis.
