1. Question 1

   Q1. A patient is experiencing symptoms of a myocardial infarction. What is the most appropriate course of action?

   • A) Administering aspirin to prevent platelet aggregation
   • B) Administering heparin to prevent thrombin formation
   • C) Administering streptokinase to dissolve the thrombus
   • D) Administering prazosin to reduce peripheral resistance

   Answer: Administering streptokinase to dissolve the thrombus

   Explanation: Streptokinase is effective in dissolving the thrombus during a myocardial infarction. Aspirin and heparin can help prevent further thrombus formation but do not dissolve existing clots. Prazosin reduces peripheral resistance but is not indicated for myocardial infarction.
