, A.Administer aspirin with tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA).
B.Complete the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS).
C.Assess the client for signs of bleeding during and after the infusion.
D.Start t-PA within 6 hours after the onset of stroke symptoms.
E.Initiate multidisciplinary consult for potential rehabilitation. - 🧠 ANSWER
✔✔B,C,E
Rationale:
Neurologic assessment, including the NIHSS, is indicated for the client
receiving t-PA. This includes close monitoring for bleeding during and after
the infusion; if bleeding or other signs of neurologic impairment occur, the
infusion should be stopped (B, C, and E). Aspirin is contraindicated with t-
PA because it increases the risk for bleeding (A). The administration of t-
PA within 6 hours of symptoms is concurrent with a diagnosis of a
myocardial infarction and within 4.5 hours of symptoms is concurrent for a
stroke (D).
