• A. Encouraging bedrest
• B. Applying antiembolism stockings
• C. Tell the client to take anticoagulants
• D. Teaching about smoking cessation

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The best intervention to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after a fracture of the hip is to apply antiembolism stockings. These stockings help promote circulation and prevent blood clots from forming in the legs due to immobility. Encouraging bedrest is not recommended as it can increase the risk of DVT. While anticoagulants are used in some cases, the primary prevention method is mechanical prophylaxis like antiembolism stockings. Teaching about smoking cessation is important for overall health but is not directly related to preventing DVT in this scenario.
