[ send me this essay ]

When assessment and prevention measures as routinely undertaken by nurses as independent agents and DVT prevention is instituted, it can save lives; therefore, Van Wicklin, War and Cantrell (2006), using research, developed an evidence-based practice protocol (EBPP) for DVT and the writer discusses this protocol.
