46. Choice B is the correct answer. Superficial thrombophlebitis is treated with NSAIDs. They help with the inflammation of the vein and help with pain. Coumadin is not necessary because the clot is in the superficial vein and there is valve to keep it from moving. The body's endogenous TPA helps redissolve the clot. Plavix is really for arterial problems and not venous. Keflex is used is there is an associated infection suspected.
