Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for a nitroglycerin transdermal patch. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Rotate the application sites of the patch. This is important to prevent skin irritation and tolerance to the medication. By rotating sites, the nurse ensures proper absorption and effectiveness of the medication.
Choice A is incorrect because the patch should not be removed prior to bathing as it may disrupt the medication delivery.
Choice B is incorrect as nitroglycerin is used to treat hypotension, not hypertension.
Choice D is incorrect because nitroglycerin patches are typically left on for 12-14 hours, not removed every 24 hours.
