Which of the following statements about the management of a myocardial infarction is FALSE?
Question 3 options:
It\'s a high priority to dissolve the blood clot in the coronary artery, so anti-platelet and clot-dissolving drugs are a standard of care

Outside the hospital, if a person appears to be having a heart attack, giving him or her an aspirin can be life-saving because of its anti-coagulation (anti-blood clot) effects
Supplemental oxygen is rarely used in the management of a myocardial infarction because the lungs aren\'t affected
