You are treating a 68-year-old woman with chest pressure and shortness of
breath that started 2 days ago. Her BP is 76/52 mm Hg and her pulse is
130 beats/min and weak. The cardiac monitor reveals sinus tachycardia
with occasional PVCs and auscultation of her lungs reveals diffuse coarse
crackles. Which of the following treatment interventions is MOST
