Practice Question
Which medication in the MONA protocol helps prevent further clot formation in a client with chest pain?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Aspirin
Rationale:
◈ The MONA protocol (Morphine, Oxygen, Nitroglycerin, Aspirin) is used in the initial management of chest pain suspected to be due to myocardial ischemia.
◈ Aspirin is an antiplatelet agent that works by inhibiting platelet aggregation, which helps prevent further clot formation in the coronary arteries.
◈ This action reduces the risk of complete vessel occlusion and progression of myocardial infarction.
◈ Nitroglycerin primarily dilates coronary arteries and reduces myocardial oxygen demand, but it does not prevent clot formation.
◈ Morphine relieves pain and decreases sympathetic nervous system activity, while oxygen increases oxygen delivery, but neither plays a role in preventing clots.
