Question 4 of 5
A nurse is teaching with a group of nurses about the administration of nitroglycerin. Which of the following routes of administration provides the most rapid onset for the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Sublingual administration of nitroglycerin provides the most rapid onset. This route allows the medication to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the mucous membranes under the tongue, bypassing the digestive system.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is monitoring a client who was admitted with a severe burn injury and is receiving IV fluid resuscitation therapy. The nurse should identify a decrease in which of the following findings as an indication of adequate fluid replacement?
Correct Answer: A
