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.

Best way to study medical terminology
Llana [10]
One great way to study medical terminology is to, first, gather supplies such as index cards to write down your terms and functions, etc. When preparing for a test I recommend getting a friend and having them point to different parts of your body and asking their functions. Make sure you are right by using a cheat sheet that includes everything you need to know.
