Which of the Following is Most Likely to Be Caused

Question

Which of the following is most likely to be caused by the immobility of bed rest?
A) Venous thrombosis
B) Hemophilia
C) Anemia
D) Myelosuppression

Accepted Answer

Immobility and prolonged bed rest can lead to venous stasis, which increases the likelihood of blood clots forming in the veins (venous thrombosis), particularly in the lower extremities. Hemophilia is a genetic disorder that affects blood clotting, and anemia and myelosuppression are not typically associated with immobility.
