On ultrasound a patient had 4-chamber dilation with an ejection fraction of 15% and a pleural effusion on chest x-ray. Elevated liver function tests, hypokalemia, and hypomagnesema are seen on lab results. Blood pressure is 115/60 and heart rate is 110 bpm with regular rate and rhythm, respiratory rate 30 bpm and O2 saturation is 88% on room air.

(1/1 Point) Administer thrombolytic therapy. Discharge the patient. Schedule repeat troponin within a few hours. Several cardiac biomarkers exist including the most specific, cardiac troponin 1 (cTnI), cTnI begins to rise within 2 to 4 hours after cardiac injury, so if the initial result is normal, the test should be repeated within 6 to 9 hours and again at 12 to 24 hours. It is not known yet if the patient has had an MI so treatment with thrombolytic therapy and/or catheterization would be premature. The patient should not be discharged since the professional suspected an MI. Prepare the patient for cardiac catheterization. 8.
