Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a group of nurses about the administration of nitroglycerin. Which of the following routes of administration provides the most rapid onset for the client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Sublingual. Sublingual administration of nitroglycerin provides the most rapid onset because the medication is absorbed directly through the mucous membranes under the tongue, bypassing the digestive system and liver first-pass metabolism. This route allows for quick and direct absorption into the bloodstream, leading to a faster onset of action.
Incorrect choices:
A: Transdermal patch - Absorption through the skin is slower compared to sublingual administration.
B:
Topical ointment - Absorption through the skin is slower compared to sublingual administration.
C: Suspended release - This form of administration typically releases the medication slowly over time, leading to a delayed onset of action.
