(from search results) What factor places the postpartum client at risk for thromboembolism?
Increased clotting factors. Increased clotting factors are a physiological adaptation to pregnancy that reduces the risk of hemorrhage during delivery, but also increases the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in pregnancy and postpartum. The risk of VTE is highest in the first week after delivery and gradually declines over the next 12 weeks.
decreased blood volume is not a risk factor for VTE. In fact, blood volume increases by about 50% during pregnancy to meet the increased metabolic demands of the mother and fetus.
increased cardiac output is not a risk factor for VTE.
Cardiac output also

The correct answer is choice A. Increased clotting factors. Increased clotting factors are a physiological adaptation to pregnancy that reduces the risk of hemorrhage during delivery, but also increases the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in pregnancy and postpartum. The risk of VTE is highest in the first week after delivery and gradually declines over the next 12 weeks.
Choice B is wrong because decreased blood volume is not a risk factor for VTE. In fact, blood volume increases by about 50% during pregnancy to meet the increased metabolic demands of the mother and fetus.
Choice C is wrong because increased cardiac output is not a risk factor for VTE.
Cardiac output also
