A client is admitted to the Emergency Department with a suspected ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The nurse anticipates that this client will be immediately prepared for the cardiac catheterization laboratory as the goal of treatment is to:

A. The primary goal in STEMI treatment is to quickly restore blood flow to prevent extensive myocardial damage. B. Measuring cardiac output is not the immediate priority in acute STEMI care. C. Assessing heart chamber pressures is not the primary goal during initial STEMI treatment. D. While cardiac catheterization evaluates artery occlusion, the urgent purpose is reperfusion to limit heart muscle damage.
