Final answer:

The correct symptoms to assess in a postpartum DVT client treated with anticoagulants are hematuria, ecchymosis, and epistaxis.

Step-by-step explanation:

A postpartum client with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) being treated with anticoagulant therapy should have their response to treatment evaluated by regularly assessing for certain symptoms indicative of potential bleeding complications. These symptoms include hematuria (blood in urine), ecchymosis (bruising), and epistaxis (nosebleeds). Therefore, the correct set of symptoms to assess would be hematuria, ecchymosis, and epistaxis.
