Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to a client who is prescribed nitroglycerin for angina. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Take one tablet every 5 minutes for up to three doses. Nitroglycerin is a fast-acting medication used to relieve angina symptoms. Instructing the client to take one tablet every 5 minutes for up to three doses is crucial as it helps manage angina attacks effectively. Taking it as prescribed can help dilate blood vessels, increasing oxygen supply to the heart muscle.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. Storing medication in a clear container (
B) is not relevant to the administration of nitroglycerin. Swallowing the tablet with water (
C) is incorrect as nitroglycerin is usually taken sublingually. Expecting a burning sensation under the tongue (
D) is not desirable; it may indicate improper administration or an adverse reaction.
