Question 1 of 5
Which of the following adverse effects would be most likely to occur in a patient with exertional angina who is started on sublingual nitroglycerin and isosorbide mononitrate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Postural hypotension. Nitroglycerin and isosorbide mononitrate are vasodilators that can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure when standing up, leading to postural hypotension. This is especially risky in patients with exertional angina, as it can exacerbate symptoms. A: Cough and wheezing are not common side effects of nitroglycerin or isosorbide mononitrate. C: Reflex bradycardia is unlikely as these medications primarily affect blood vessels, not the heart rate. D: Methemoglobinemia is a rare side effect associated with certain medications but is not commonly seen with nitroglycerin or isosorbide mononitrate.
