A 69-year-old man with history of coronary artery disease necessitating angioplasty and stent placement presents to the ED due to fever, chills, and productive cough for one day. He is started on levofloxacin and admitted because of his comorbidity and observed tachypnea of 35 breaths per minute. He is continued on his home medications including aspirin, clopidogrel, metoprolol, and lisinopril. He cannot ambulate as frequently as he would like due to his immediate dependence on oxygen. What intervention should be provided for deep venous thrombosis prophylaxis in this patient while hospitalized?
