MONA
The “MONA” mnemonic represents the 4 priority interventions for patients suspected to be experiencing a MI. these include morphine, oxygen, nitroglycerin, and aspirin. Keep in mind that while MONA is helpful, it doesn’t actually represent the correct order or prioritization of the interventions. The mnemonic that correctly represents the order of actions is ONAM. This can be remembered by On A.M. (as is I work in the mornings: I am ON in the A.M. shift, or I am totally a morning person- I am ON in the A.M.).
Oxygen is always given first, allegedly because it’s the most important (personally, I suspect it may also be because it’s the fastest, but never think this on a NCLEX exam!) Nitro is given next in order to dilate the vessels, making it a matter of increased space. Aspirin helps disaggregate the platelets with the goal of clot reduction and prevention of additional ones. Morphine reduces pain and anxiety, which will in turn assist with the psychosocial aspects that contribute to the tachypnea, thereby reducing the oxygen demand
