Post by: BreakFree on Feb 8, 2015 An adult client is brought to the emergency department (ED) and diagnosed with a thrombotic stroke. The team plans to administer alteplase (Activase). The client makes the following comments to a nurse. Which information is critical for the nurse to relay to the health care provider?
1. “I can’t believe this is happening. My baby is only a year old.” 2. “I thought this was just my asthma acting up.” 3. “I wonder if this was happening when I fell and hit my head last week.” 4. “I had a blood clot in my leg last year after my baby was born.” Title: Re: An adult client is brought to the emergency department (ED) and diagnosed with a thrombotic stro Post by: ngin on Feb 12, 2015 Content hidden
