A63-year-old woman has been diagnosed with polycythemia vera (pv) after undergoing a series of diagnostic tests. when the woman's nurse is providing health education, what subject should the nurse prioritize?

It is important that the nurse discusses lifestyle techniques and modifications to prevent thromboembolism from occuring. PV causes the blood to thicken which in turn could cause severe clots in the woman's blood. With that being said thromboembolism could occur and clots could travel to a number of major organs in the body. So the patient should be informed how to keep that risk low.

Some of her  assignments would be creation of drugs. she is a medical chemist after all so she'd need to have the necessary knowledge to make medicine which can later be sold in a pharmacy
