Upper extremity venous thrombosis.
Upper extremity venous thrombosis is unusual, but the occurrence rate is increasing. Nurses must be aware of the predisposing factors for thrombosis, diagnostic modalities, treatment options, and follow-up treatment for these patients. Nurses are responsible for patient evaluation, education, and monitoring for side effects of therapy.
