Question 3 of 5
A client with Angina Pectoris asks the nurse about the next step if one tablet does not relieve Anginal pain after waiting 5 minutes. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In a situation where Anginal pain persists after taking one sublingual tablet and waiting 5 minutes, it is crucial to call emergency services (911) immediately. This could indicate a myocardial infarction (heart attack) rather than a typical Anginal attack. The client can take a second sublingual tablet while waiting for emergency assistance. If the pain persists after taking the second tablet, a third tablet can be taken after an additional 5 minutes. Prompt action is essential in such situations to ensure appropriate and timely medical intervention.

Rationale: In this scenario, the client is experiencing severe hypotension due to Verapamil administration.
