The stem stacks VTE risk factors: obesity, malignancy, major surgery and poor mobilization. Fever on day 5 also falls in the Walking (DVT) window, days 5-7. Active mobilization is the best VTE prophylaxis, and she lacked it.
- SSI (days 3-7) is the main distractor, but nothing in the stem points to the wound.
- Pneumonia/atelectasis is earlier.
