A patient with an acute anterior wall MI presents with an S3 gallop and the following values:
Which drug therapy would be most appropriate for this patient?
Suggested Answer:
C
In the setting of an acute anterior wall myocardial infarction (MI) with an S3 gallop, the patient is likely experiencing heart failure and possibly acute pulmonary edema. The appropriate treatment includes vasodilators to reduce afterload and diuretics to decrease preload and pulmonary congestion. This combination helps to improve cardiac output and reduce the workload on the heart. Reference: CCRN Exam Handbook, AACN, page 20, section on Cardiovascular.
