1 · Practice

Question 14 of 50

A 58-year-old diabetic arrives with 40 minutes of crushing central chest pain. Saturations are 97% on air and he is haemodynamically stable. The first drug to give after attaching a monitor is:

A. Oral aspirin 300 mg ✓
B. IV unfractionated heparin
C. High-flow oxygen by face mask
D. Subcutaneous fondaparinux
2 · Learn why
