Answer:

d. Urgent angiogram and thrombolysis.

Explanation:

The best therapy for this patient would be an urgent angiogram to check, via X rays, the state of her blood vessels. With this exam, the doctor can determine the blood flow in the injured vessels. The second treatment to do is thrombolysis, which is a process done to breakdown the blood clots that formed in the blood vessels and that are stoping the normal flow of blood.

GrogVix [38]
The three minute step test involves stepping up and down on an 18-inch step for three minutes, at a rate of 24 steps per minute. The recovery pulse is then counted for 30 seconds after a one minute rest.


The Rockport walk test is performed on the treadmill, encouraging the participant to walk as fast as they can control for one mile. The workout time and heart rate are recorded at the mile mark and compared against standard averages.
