Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has chronic stable angina and a new prescription for sublingual nitroglycerin. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: "Take one tablet before a strenuous activity." This is because nitroglycerin is a vasodilator that helps to relieve angina by increasing blood flow to the heart. Taking it before strenuous activity can help prevent angina episodes triggered by exertion.
A: Taking the medication with water is not necessary as it is meant to be dissolved under the tongue.
C: Taking up to four tablets in 15 minutes is incorrect as it can lead to hypotension and other adverse effects.
D: Chewing the tablet is incorrect as it is meant to be absorbed sublingually for rapid effect.
