Stage 2 — Analyze cues. For each result, identify the conclusion it most directly supports in the reperfusion evaluation.

Quick answer
Match each test to its job: exclude hemorrhage, locate the occlusion, rule down a mimic, or assess bleeding risk.

Why this is correct
Reperfusion decisions combine time, deficit severity, imaging, and contraindications. No single normal value independently authorizes treatment.

Easy analogy or mental picture
The stroke workup is a four-lane checkpoint: brain image, vessel image, mimic screen, and bleeding screen each answer a different question.

Memory hook
Plain CT checks blood; angiography checks blockage.

NCLEX decision rule
Interpret diagnostic data by purpose and continue parallel stroke-system actions rather than waiting for every result sequentially.

Why the other choices are wrong
An M1 occlusion does not rule out hemorrhage, glucose does not locate a clot, and coagulation values do not show whether a large vessel is blocked.
