Question

a. Aspirin, clopidogrel, omeprazole
b. Aspirin, heparin, abciximab [ReoPro]
c. Enoxaparin [Lovenox], prasugrel [Effient], warfarin [Coumadin]
d. Heparin, alteplase, abciximab [ReoPro]

Answer 1

The nurse would expect to administer aspirin, heparin, and abciximab (ReoPro) to prevent thrombosis in a patient with unstable angina undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nurse would expect to administer the drug regimen of aspirin, heparin, abciximab (ReoPro) to prevent thrombosis in a patient with unstable angina undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.

Aspirin is an antiplatelet drug that helps to prevent blood clotting, while heparin is an anticoagulant that inhibits the formation of blood clots. Abciximab is a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor that prevents platelet aggregation and reduces the risk of thrombosis.
