A nurse is caring for a client suspected of a cocaine-induced myocardial infarction (MI). When asked to describe how cocaine can induce an MI, which rationale will the nurse use to respond?
A) Alters the body's clotting mechanisms, leading to thrombus formation.
B) Alters electrolyte balance, leading to arrhythmias.
C) Increases sympathetic nervous system stimulation, increasing blood pressure and vasoconstriction.
D) Significantly increases the serum triglyceride level, leading to the development of an atheroma.
