A client has a new prescription for nitroglycerin transdermal patches. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct instruction for a client using nitroglycerin transdermal patches is to remove the patch every night before bedtime. This is essential to prevent tolerance to the medication's effects. Continuous exposure to nitroglycerin can lead to the body becoming less responsive to its therapeutic effects over time, making it less effective in managing the condition it is prescribed for.
