Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2, 3, 4

Rationale 1: The three primary subclasses of antiplatelet agents are (1) aspirin, (2) adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor blockers, and (3) glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor blockers.
Rationale 2: The three primary subclasses of antiplatelet agents are (1) aspirin, (2) adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor blockers, and (3) glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor blockers.
Rationale 3: The three primary subclasses of antiplatelet agents are (1) aspirin, (2) adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor blockers, and (3) glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor blockers.
Rationale 4: The three primary subclasses of antiplatelet agents are (1) aspirin, (2) adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor blockers, and (3) glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor blockers.
Rationale 5: Antipyretic agents are not antiplatelet agents.

Global Rationale: The three primary subclasses of antiplatelet agents are (1) aspirin, (2) adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor blockers, and (3) glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor blockers. Thrombolytics and antipyretic agents are not antiplatelet agents.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

Rationale 1: Thrombolytics are prescribed for disorders in which a clot has already formed.
Rationale 2: Thrombolytics are prescribed for disorders in which a clot has already formed.
Rationale 3: Postoperative bleeding would not be a reason to prescribe a thrombolytic drug.
Rationale 4: Thrombolytics are prescribed for disorders in which a clot has already formed.

Global Rationale: Postoperative bleeding would not be a reason to prescribe a thrombolytic drug. Thrombolytics are prescribed for disorders in which a clot has already formed, including a pulmonary embolism, acute MI and cerebrovascular accident (CVA).
