Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anistreplase (Eminase) is a thrombolytic agent used to dissolve blood clots. During the early minutes of the infusion, the nurse should monitor the client closely for signs of an allergic reaction, which include dyspnea and wheezing. Muscle aches, sudden rise in blood pressure, and dizziness and confusion are not typical signs of an allergic reaction to anistreplase.
