Answer:

Naloxone.

Explanation:

Naloxone (Narcan), an opioid antagonist, is delivered for opioid overdose to treat respiratory depression, sedation and hypertension. Multivitamins and adequate nutrition for clients recovering from alcohol are important. Since malnutrition is widespread, some individuals may need another vitamin substitute. Upon detoxification thiamine (vitamin B1) is introduced, given to decrease ataxia and other deficiency symptoms. It is usually given four times daily orally, 100 mg, but can be administered intramuscularly or by intravenous glucose infusion. The folic acid deficiency is treated four times daily with oral administration of 1.0 mg.Magnesium deficiency is also observed in those with long-term alcohol dependence. Magnesium sulfate is given prophylactically to clients with history of withdrawal seizures, which improves the body's response to thiamine and decreases seizures)

A. Within <u>6 </u>hours, Alteplase must be administered.

Explanation:

The client with the above symptoms might be suffering from an acute myocardial infarction,

Altepase is a fibrinolytic and thrombolytic drug which is administered to a patient who has suffered an acute myocardial infarction.

The best time to initiate this treatment is within 6 hours of the onset of symptoms. This is very important to restore the flow of blood in the blood vessel so that it can supply the muscle it provided and energize the muscle cells by supplying oxygen.  

When a clot is formed, Altepase which is a tPA (tissue plasminogen activator) activates plasminogen which forms plasmin. This plasmin will then degrade the fibrin and break the thrombotic clot. The working of Altepase is greatly dependent on the time of administration  

This is administered first as an initial bolus and then via intravenous fusion at varying doses for an hour depending upon the age and weight of the patient.
