During a myocardial infarction (MI), a patient with a 97 occlusion of his left descending artery develops ventricular arrhythmias due to the amount of ischemia occurring in the myocardium.
 
  While educating the patient about MIs, the nurse will base her teaching on the fact that
  A)
  permanent damage will occur in the myocardium if the vessel is not opened within a 1- to 2-minute window following the occlusion.
  B)
  treatment needs to be sought immediately so that the buildup of lactic acid is limited and cellular changes can be reversed.
  C)
  once the oxygen supply has been occluded, cellular changes are irreversible even if oxygenation is restored.
  D)
  the body will grow new genes through the process of angiogenesis, thereby avoiding any permanent damage to the myocardium.
