Answer to Question 1

4
Propofol (Diprivan) is a sedative-hypnotic anesthetic used to enhance compliance with mechanical ventilation. When discontinued, the client will wake up quickly. Diprivan does not cause hypotension. Narcan is not needed to reverse Diprivan. Diprivan does not cause dysrhythmias.

Answer to Question 2

3
Contraindications to fibrinolytic therapy include active internal bleeding, active inflammatory bowel disease, active peptic ulcer disease, active pericarditis, defective homeostasis, gastrointestinal/genitourinary bleeding for less than 6 months, history of hemorrhagic stroke, known bleeding disorders, neurologic procedure within the past 2 months, recent surgery or trauma within 2 months, pregnancy, suspected aortic dissection, and uncontrolled hypertension.
