مريض بعد جلطة رئوية سببها مؤقت (جراحة)، ويسأل كم سيأخذ مضاد التخثر. ما الإجابة الأقرب للتوصيات؟

After a PE provoked by a temporary cause (surgery), a client asks how long he will take anticoagulation. Which answer fits guidelines?

1. Lifelong for every client without exception
2. Only until the chest pain goes
3. Just one week after discharge
4. Usually at least 3 months, then reassessed

Answer: D) Usually at least 3 months, then reassessed. PE with a clear temporary trigger is usually treated for 3 months. Unprovoked clots or ongoing risk factors may need longer treatment after weighing bleeding risk.
