Question 1 of 5
A client with a history of angina reports the onset of chest pain. The nurse determines that the heart rate is 104 beats/minute and the blood pressure is 138/86 mm Hg. A transdermal nitroglycerin patch was applied 30 minutes ago to the right upper chest. Which action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Sublingual nitroglycerin provides rapid relief for acute angina, complementing the slower-acting transdermal patch. Reassuring about delayed patch effects, withholding doses, or adding another patch are inappropriate for acute pain.
