Question 1 of 5
A client who has a history of myocardial infarction (Ml) is prescribed aspirin 325 mg. The nurse recognizes that the aspirin is given due to which of the following actions of the medications?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: antiplatelet aggregate. Aspirin is prescribed for a client with a history of myocardial infarction to prevent blood clot formation by inhibiting platelet aggregation. Aspirin irreversibly inhibits cyclooxygenase, reducing the production of thromboxane A2, which is crucial for platelet activation and aggregation. This antiplatelet effect helps prevent further blockage of blood vessels and reduces the risk of recurrent heart attacks. The other choices are incorrect because aspirin is not primarily used as an analgesic (pain reliever), antipyretic (fever reducer), or anti-inflammatory in this context.
