What are the Signs and Symptoms of Abnormal Clotting?
Signs of abnormal clotting can vary depending on the location and severity of the clot. Common symptoms include swelling, pain, and redness in the affected area. In cases of pulmonary embolism, patients may experience shortness of breath, chest pain, and a rapid heart rate. Nurses should be vigilant in monitoring for these signs, especially in high-risk patients.
