Question 1 of 5

A nurse is providing discharge teaching to a client who has a new prescription for sublingual nitroglycerin. Which of the following statements made by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: "I should take this medication as soon as the pain begins." This is correct because nitroglycerin is a rapid-acting medication used to relieve chest pain associated with angina. Taking it at the onset of chest pain helps dilate blood vessels and improve blood flow to the heart muscle.


Choice A is incorrect because taking another dose after 2 minutes could lead to overdose and hypotension.
Choice B is incorrect as the tablet should be placed under the tongue, not against the cheek and gum.
Choice C is incorrect because nitroglycerin should not be chewed but allowed to dissolve under the tongue.
