Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A patient on prolonged bed rest will be prone to deep vein thrombosis, which can lead to an embolus. An embolus can travel through the circulatory system to the lungs and impair circulation and oxygenation, resulting in tachycardia and shortness of breath. Venous emboli that travel to the lungs are sometimes life threatening. While the patient with a reddened area needs to be turned, a patient with renal calculi needing the restroom, and a patient needing range of motion, these are not as life threatening as the chest pain and dyspnea.
