Which of these patients would least likely be considered at high risk for deep venous thrombosis?

The patient who would be least likely to be considered at high risk for deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is the 75-year-old woman admitted for a transient ischemic attack (TIA). While advanced age is a risk factor for DVT, the specific context of a TIA may not elevate her risk to the same degree as the other options presented.

In contrast, the other patients have circumstances that significantly increase their risk for developing DVT. The 62-year-old woman with a fractured hip is likely immobilized, which is a major risk factor for DVT. The 36-year-old man with Hodgkin's disease not only suffers from cancer, which is a known risk factor for thromboembolism, but also may be undergoing treatments that can contribute to a hypercoagulable state. Lastly, the 18-year-old male recovering from multiple injuries from a motorcycle accident could also be at high risk due to immobility and potential injuries that could adversely affect blood flow and increase clotting risk.

Therefore, the context surrounding the transient ischemic attack, coupled with the absence of immobilization or hypercoagulable conditions, contributes to the assessment that this patient is at a lower risk for DVT compared to the others listed
