E.

Question Solution

Correct Answer : A,B,E

A. Immobility is a significant risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE) since prolonged inactivity can lead to stasis of blood flow, increasing clot formation risk.

 

B. Smoking contributes to hypercoagulability and vascular damage, both of which elevate the risk of clot formation in veins.

 

C. A history of stomach ulcers is not directly associated with an increased risk of blood clots; rather, it pertains more to gastrointestinal health.

 

D. Overhydration generally does not increase the risk of blood clots; rather, maintaining adequate hydration is important for circulation.

 

E. Taking birth control pills can increase the risk of blood clots due to hormonal changes that promote hypercoagulability.

E. This combination is incorrect, as S1 is associated with mitral and tricuspid valve closure.
