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: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Take one tablet before a strenuous activity. This instruction is appropriate because sublingual nitroglycerin is used to relieve angina symptoms quickly by dilating blood vessels. Taking a tablet before a strenuous activity can help prevent angina episodes triggered by exertion.
Choice A is incorrect as sublingual nitroglycerin should be placed under the tongue, not swallowed with water.
Choice B is incorrect because taking up to four tablets in 15 minutes can lead to overdose.
Choice C is incorrect as sublingual nitroglycerin should not be chewed but allowed to dissolve under the tongue for quick absorption.
