180/100 mm Hg. Which drug do you anticipate giving to this patient?
Aspirin
Glucose (D50)
Nicardipiner
tPA
In which situation does bradycardia require
treatment? 12-lead ECG showing a normal sinus
rhythm Hypotension
Diastolic blood pressure greater than 90 mm Hg
Systolic blood pressure greater than 100 mm Hg
Which intervention is most appropriate for the treatment of a patient in
asystole?
Atropine
Defibrillation
Epinephrine
Transcutaneous pacing
A patient with STEMI has ongoing chest discomfort. Heparin 4000 units IV

Give clopidogrel 300 mg orally
