Question 1 of 5

A client arrives in the emergency department with severe chest pain. The client reports that the pain has been occurring off and on for a week now. Which assessment finding would indicate the need for cautious use of nitrates and nitrites?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. A blood pressure of 88/62 mm Hg indicates hypotension, which is a contraindication for nitrates and nitrites due to the risk of further lowering blood pressure. Nitrates are vasodilators that can cause systemic vasodilation and exacerbate hypotension, leading to decreased perfusion to vital organs.
Therefore, caution is needed when administering nitrates to individuals with low blood pressure to prevent adverse effects such as dizziness, syncope, or even cardiovascular collapse.

Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not directly relate to the cautious use of nitrates and nitrites. A high apical pulse rate may suggest tachycardia, renal disease does not necessarily contraindicate nitrates, and a history of myocardial infarction would typically warrant the use of nitrates for chest pain relief.
