What is the target blood pressure before initiating alteplase treatment?

<195/115
<185/110
<175/100
<165/90

The correct answer is: <185/110

Before initiating alteplase treatment, the target blood pressure should be below 185/110. This is because alteplase is a drug used to dissolve blood clots and improve blood flow, so lowering the blood pressure can help prevent potential side effects such as bleeding. Options A, C, and D all have higher blood pressure ranges, which could increase the risk of bleeding and other complications during alteplase treatment. It is important to closely monitor and control the patient's blood pressure before and during alteplase treatment to ensure safety and effectiveness.
