Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. Alteplase is administered as a bolus over 1-2 minutes, followed by a continuous infusion over 60 minutes. This rapid administration is crucial for the drug's thrombolytic action to dissolve the clot causing the CVA. Giving it as a bolus over 3 minutes (option
B) is not accurate, as it should be given over a shorter time frame. Option A is incorrect because alteplase can be given to patients on anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy with caution. Option C is incorrect as the recommended time for administration is within 3 hours of symptom onset, not 90 minutes after admission. Option D is incorrect as the maximum dosage of alteplase is 0.9 mg/kg, not a fixed 120 mg dose.
