Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who received alteplase 12 hr ago following a thrombotic stroke. The nurse should monitor the client for which of the following adverse effects?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Hemorrhage. Alteplase is a thrombolytic medication that works by breaking down blood clots. One of the major risks associated with thrombolytic therapy is bleeding, including intracranial hemorrhage, which can be life-threatening. Monitoring for signs of hemorrhage, such as changes in level of consciousness, sudden severe headache, or bruising, is crucial to prevent complications. Polycythemia (
A) is an increase in red blood cell count, not a common adverse effect of alteplase. Laryngospasm (
B) is a spasm of the vocal cords, unrelated to thrombolytic therapy. Steatorrhea (
D) is the presence of excess fat in the stool, not associated with alteplase use.
