An emergency room nurse is speaking with a patient who is exhibiting symptoms of an ischemic stroke that started two hours ago. The client mentions having had a cholecystectomy six weeks prior and using labetalol, digoxin, and warfarin. What element puts the patient's thrombolytic therapy at risk?
What is ischemic stroke?
An ischemic stroke is the loss of brain tissue (cerebral infarction) brought on by insufficient oxygen and blood flow to the brain as a result of an arterial blockage. An artery leading to the brain can get blocked, frequently by a blood clot or a fatty buildup brought on by atherosclerosis, leading to an ischemic stroke.
In patients with ischemic stroke, thrombolytic therapy must be started within three hours. If the patient underwent surgery within the last 14 days, she is not qualified for thrombolytic therapy. Labetalol and digoxin do not preclude thrombolytic treatment.

Valves are like flaps or lids that are used to transport blood from the atria to the ventricles. They act as inlets and outlets of blood.
Explanation:
The atrioventricular valves are located Left and right that are in the middle of atria and ventricle on both sides of the heart while two semilunar valves separate the right and left ventricles from the pulmonary valve and aortic valve.
The Atrioventricular valves are the mitral valve and the tricuspid valve. Mitral valve is in the left side and tricuspid valve is in the right. they both are separated by the atrium and ventricle
The two semilunar valves are the pulmonary valve and aortic valve. the pulmonary valve is on the right side separated by the right ventricle and pulmonary artery. The aortic valve is on the left and is separated by the left ventricle and aorta.
Answer: The total cholesterol is 199
Explanation:
Total cholesterol = LDL + HDL + Triglycerides
= 77 + 62 + 60
= 199.
As the patients doctor, I'd advise that the patient makes life style changes as they are approaching total cholesterol of 200 which is borderline high. Life style changes will include diet changes especially.
Answer:
Standard <u>anatomical
</u> position is the agreed-upon reference for body position when studying anatomy (option 2).
Explanation:
Anatomical position consists of the placement of the human body for its anatomical study, following certain norms established and accepted by convention.
- <em>The body is observed from its front face.
</em>
- <em>The members must be extended, showing their ventral surface and with a slight separation from the rest of the body.
</em>
- <em>The hands show the palms, while the feet are hyperextended showing their backs.
</em>
This position is useful to provide the description of any area of the body in a specific posture, and that can be understood even by those who do not observe.
The other options are not correct because:
<em> 1) </em><u><em>Histological</em></u><em>, refers to the study of cells and tissues.
</em>
<em> 3) </em><u><em>Superior</em></u><em>, is a directional term, indicating something located at the top of the body or closer to the head.
</em>
<em> 4) </em><u><em>Mnemonic</em></u><em> refers to the association of words used to remember names or lists of names.</em>
