Abstract
Stroke Care and Management continues to change and develop. There are medications that are used to treat acute strokes, including by not limited to thrombolytics, anti-hypertensives, anti-platelet medications, anti-emetics, as well as specific IV medications. There are also goals of care to establish, determine, as well as definiative care. The case study is a 77 year old female who was administered the wrong thrombolytic agent, and had an adverse outcome. This presentation will help educate the importance of the right medications for acute non-hemorrhagic stroke.
