Trauma victims are still at risk for deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Only 10% of those who need DVT prophylaxis are given it, while the other 90% are denied treatment due of a lack of knowledge and awareness. Deep vein thrombosis is a life-threatening disorder that may result in death. The quality of care delivered was evaluated via the use of an observational instrument as well as a survey administered to 30 randomly selected participants. It used a pre-validated questionnaire in the survey. Between the months of September 2011 and November 2011, the team conducted their investigation. The investigation was conducted on staff nurses from the cardiology critical care unit and the cardiology medical ward. A staff nurse with more than five years of experience is more knowledgeable than a staff nurse who has less than five years of experience. A p value of 0.015 was found to be significant when these two were compared. Based on what I've seen, the level of care provided is acceptable.
