Final answer:

Recognize symptoms of concern and take prompt action in a client with a myocardial infarction and heparin drip infusion.


Explanation:

Chest pain or discomfort, weakness, light-headedness, nausea, or cold sweat, and pain or discomfort in the arms or shoulder are potential signs and symptoms in a client admitted for a myocardial infarction receiving a heparin drip.

If the client experiences unrelieved chest pain, new onset bleeding from the rectum, or shortness of breath, the nurse should stop the heparin infusion and notify the prescribing health care provider immediately.
