Morphine intravenously and oxygen are the emergent treatment plan for a patient complaining of chest pain that is radiating down the left arm. Aspirin 325 mg orally is also an appropriate treatment. Open heart surgery, heparin drip at 100 units per hour, and Foley catheter insertion are not appropriate treatments for this patient.
