clump up and clot
assessment for antiplatelets - ANSWER ✓ s/sx of bleeding
side effects of antiplatelets - ANSWER ✓ - Excessive bleeding
- Bruising
patient teaching for antiplatelets - ANSWER ✓ - How to self monitor for bleeding
- Safe shaving/ teeth brushing/ etc
thrombolytics - ANSWER ✓ 1. Medication names: alteplase (tPA)
2. Dissolve or break apart clots --> Clot Busters!
3. Uses:
