A client arrives in the Emergency Department with severe chest pain. What is the best explanation by the nurse to differentiate angina from a myocardial infarction?
 
  1. Angina usually goes away with rest, and is rarely fatal, but a myocardial infarction requires immediate treatment, and can be lifethreatening.
  2. There is no way to tell the difference between the two. You will be treated for a myocardial infarction.
  3. Both are caused by a clot blocking the coronary arteries. Angina occurs if a small vessel is blocked, and a myocardial infarction occurs if a large vessel is blocked.
  4. Angina does not cause severe chest pain, but a myocardial infarction always causes severe chest pain.
