A client is prescribed ticlopidine (Ticlid) after a myocardial infarction and stent placement. How should the nurse explain the action of this medication to the client?


1. “Ticlid will dissolve any clots that might form in your stent.”
2. “Ticlid will make the platelets in your blood less sticky.”
3. “Ticlid will change the way your platelets work their entire lives.”
4. “Ticlid decreases your blood’s ability to clot.”
5. “Ticlid works just like the heparin you have been on in the hospital.”

I've studied this stuff recently, so I knew what the answer was. Good luck with the rest.
