Question 1 of 5
The patient is complaining of a viselike pain in the chest and has been diagnosed with a myocardial infarction. The nurse anticipates that he may be given which of the following medications? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: B,C,E
Rationale: The correct medications for a myocardial infarction are thrombolytics to dissolve the clot causing the blockage, aspirin to prevent further clot formation, and a beta blocker to reduce workload on the heart and prevent arrhythmias. ACE inhibitors are used for heart failure but not typically given during the acute phase of a heart attack. Potassium-sparing diuretics are used for heart failure or hypertension, not specifically for myocardial infarction.
