A nurse is educating a client about the risk factors for pulmonary embolism. Which statement made by the client indicates a correct understanding of the risk factors?

A) Incorrect. Pulmonary angiography involves the injection of contrast dye into the pulmonary arteries, not the insertion of a scope into the lungs.

B) Correct. Remaining still during the procedure is crucial to obtain clear images, and the client should be educated about the importance of cooperation.

C) Incorrect. Allergies to contrast dye can be a concern, and the client should inform the healthcare team of any allergies to prevent potential adverse reactions.

D) Incorrect. Mild discomfort and chest pain are not common during pulmonary angiography and should not be expected. The procedure is typically done under local anesthesia, and any discomfort should be reported to the healthcare team.

A) Incorrect. Surgery does increase the risk of pulmonary embolism, especially when accompanied by immobility.

B) Correct. Prolonged immobility, birth control pills, and obesity are known risk factors for post-surgery pulmonary embolism.

C) Incorrect. While smoking and caffeine intake can impact lung health, they are not the primary risk factors for post-surgery pulmonary embolism.

D) Incorrect. While a family history of clotting disorders can contribute to the risk, it is not a common risk factor discussed in the context of post-surgery pulmonary embolism.
