Question 1 of 5

The nurse is caring for a client who currently has a deep vein thrombosis. Which of the following medications would be administered to lyse existing clots? (Select All that Apply.)

Correct Answer: D,E

Rationale: The correct answers are D: alteplase (Activase) and E: anistreplase (Eminase) as they are thrombolytic agents that help lyse existing clots in deep vein thrombosis. Alteplase and anistreplase work by converting plasminogen to plasmin, which breaks down fibrin in blood clots. Aspirin (
A) is an antiplatelet agent and may prevent clot formation but does not lyse existing clots. Heparin (
B) and warfarin (
C) are anticoagulants that prevent clot formation but do not lyse existing clots.
Therefore, they are not the appropriate medications for this purpose.
