Question 1 of 5

A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has angina and a new prescription of nitroglycerin sublingual. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: "If my mouth is dry, I will take a sip of water before I take the tablet." This statement indicates an understanding of how to properly administer nitroglycerin sublingual. Taking the medication under the tongue allows for faster absorption. Taking a sip of water before taking the tablet helps moisten the mouth and aids in the absorption of the medication. This step is crucial for the effectiveness of nitroglycerin in relieving angina symptoms.

Other choices are incorrect:
A: Taking a second tablet before the 20-minute mark is not recommended as it can lead to an overdose.
B: Keeping tablets in the bathroom exposes them to moisture, affecting their potency.
C: Nitroglycerin sublingual should not be swallowed but dissolved under the tongue for rapid absorption.
