Question 1 of 5
A client taking nitroglycerin (Nitrostat) complains of a headache. Which conclusion is most appropriate by the nurse?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. Nitroglycerin commonly causes headaches due to its vasodilatory effects, which can lead to decreased blood pressure and resulting headaches. This is a known side effect. Option B is incorrect as headaches are a common side effect of nitroglycerin. Option C is incorrect as taking nitroglycerin with a high-fat meal does not prevent headaches. Option D is incorrect as a headache is not indicative of a serious allergic reaction.
Therefore, the most appropriate conclusion is that the headache experienced by the client is likely due to nitroglycerin's common side effect.
