Answer 1

A programmable pump should be used to administer an initial dose of 120 mg for 2 hours with 10% of the dose administered intravenously

Step-by-step explanation:

Stroke or cerebrovascular accident is considered an emergency pathology and more if it is acute and ischemic, this means that there is no blood supply to a brain area due to a thrombus or embolus, of microbial, platelet or other origin.

In order to treat this pathology, the aforementioned is used to reverse said acute condition, the faster it is removed from the acute situation, the less risk the patient will have of cerebral sequelae.

Answer 2

"A programmable pump should be used to deliver an initial dose of 120mg over 2hours with 10% if the dose given intravenously."

Explanation:Ischemic stroke is a type of stroke that is associated with the brain,it is usually caused by the blockage or blockages in the artery which supplies blood to the brain,when this is blockage occurs,the amount of blood flow into the brain is either reduced or stopped,this will in turn reduce or eliminate the flow of oxygen into the brain.

WHEN THE OXYGEN REACHING THE BRAIN IS MINIMIZED OR STOPPED,THE BRAIN WILL DIE.
