Question

which of the following medications are given as prophylactic therapy to decrease platelet clumping in patients with a history of recent stoke or recent mi? a) platelet inhibitors b) vasoconstrictors c) thrombolytic agents d) tachycardia question 13 (2.5 points) side effects of angiotensin - converting enzyme (ace) inhibitors include a) hypertension b) dizziness, upper respiratory tract infections, and hyperkalemia

Explanation:

Platelet inhibitors prevent platelets from clumping together to form blood - clots, which is beneficial for patients with a history of stroke or MI to prevent further thrombotic events. Vasoconstrictors constrict blood vessels and are not related to platelet clumping prevention. Thrombolytic agents dissolve existing blood - clots, not prevent platelet clumping. Tachycardia is a rapid heart rate, not a medication. For ACE inhibitors, they are used to treat hypertension and can cause side - effects such as dizziness, upper respiratory tract infections, and hyperkalemia, not hypertension.

Answer:

1. a) Platelet inhibitors
2. b) dizziness, upper respiratory tract infections, and hyperkalemia
