fully solved
Your patient has a history of atrial fibrillation and is on chronic warfarin therapy. An INR result of < 2 is
required prior to administration of Tenecteplase.
True or False - correct answer ✔✔False. An INR result of </= 1.7 is required prior to administration of
Tenecteplase in a patient who is eligible candidate for Tenecteplase and has a history of chronic
anticoagulation. This is different than alteplase where the bolus and infusion may be given while waiting
for an INR result to return and then subsequently discontinued if INR > 1.7. This is not possible with
Tenecteplase which is given as a single, IV push dose.

answer ✔✔Answer: <185/110 mmHg.
