Question 1 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.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is to obtain help from another healthcare provider to confirm the correct client and blood product.

Verifying the correct client and blood product before the transfusion ensures that there are no errors in identification, reducing the risk of a potentially life-threatening reaction.
