Answer to Question 1

1. Enhances nursing practice.

Rationale:
One goal of nursing informatics is to provide a mechanism whereby nurses have access to clinical information that will enhance nursing practice. Information searches do not improve documentation. The physician chooses the medication ordered. Searching for information does not affect the administrative system.

Answer to Question 2

2. Is administered to dissolve the clot that is occluding the cerebral circulation and reestablish circulation to the involved part of the brain.

Rationale:
Thrombolytic therapy using recombinant tissue plasminogen activator is used to dissolve the clot formed with a thrombotic stroke. Dissolving the clot reestablishes cerebral circulation. The treatment can be used if the symptoms have occurred within 3 hours or less. Bleeding is a complication associated with the treatment, which may result in cerebral hemorrhage causing extensive brain damage and disability. The treatment is only used with thrombotic strokes.
