Answer to Question 1

A
Normal serum bilirubin is 0.1 to 1.2 mg/dL. Jaundice is present at readings above 2.5 mg/dL. The patient who is jaundiced will have dark, tea-colored urine. Specific gravity refers to the concentration of the urine. The amount and odor of urine will not be directly influenced by the bilirubin level.

Answer to Question 2

A
Thrombolytic agents are contraindicated in people with uncontrolled hypertension, GI bleeds, recent intracranial or intraspinal surgery, or aneurysm because of threat of excessive bleeding.
