Final answer:
A platelet count of <100,000 and an elevated PTT are not relative contraindications to receiving tPA.
Step-by-step explanation:
False. A platelet count of <100,000 and/or an elevated PTT are not relative contraindications to receiving tPA.
A platelet count of <100,000 is usually the threshold for thrombocytopenia, which means there is a low number of platelets in the blood. Thrombocytopenia can increase the risk of bleeding, but it does not necessarily contraindicate the use of tPA.
An elevated PTT (Partial Thromboplastin Time) can be an indication of a clotting disorder, but it also does not necessarily contraindicate the use of tPA. The decision to use tPA in a patient with an elevated PTT would depend on the specific clotting disorder and the potential risks and benefits of the treatment.
