The initial few hours following an embolism are the most dangerous for complications or death. 167 mg should the nurse administer per dose.

<h3>What is meant by pulmonary embolism?</h3>

A blood clot in a lung artery blocks blood flow to a portion of the lung, resulting in a pulmonary embolism (PE). Most frequently, blood clots begin in the legs, move through the right side of the heart, and enter the lungs. DVT is the medical term for this (DVT).

A pulmonary embolism may disappear on its own, but with the right diagnosis and care, it is rarely lethal. However, if untreated, it can become serious and result in other health issues, even death. An embolism in the lungs can: harm the heart.

The initial few hours following an embolism are the most dangerous for complications or death. A second PE happening within six weeks of the first one is also highly likely. Because of this, treatment is required right away and must last for roughly three months.

I would say C, it’s the same OCD. Which is a form of forced thoughts, and it’s his thoughts that tells him he HAS to flush. Even though he’s just wasting water and money.
