If a woman is at risk for thrombus and is not ready to ambulate, nurses might intervene by doing all of these interventions except:

Notifying the physician immediately if a positive Homan's sign occurs or if warmth, redness, and tenderness of the calf are present.

Having her sit in a chair.

Having her flex, extend, and rotate her feet, ankles, and legs.

Putting her in antiembolic stockings (TED hose) and/or sequential compression device (SCD) boots.
