ATI Pharmacology Quiz 240 | Nurselytic

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Sublingual. This route of administration provides the most rapid onset for nitroglycerin because it allows the medication to be rapidly absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the mucous membranes under the tongue. This bypasses the first-pass metabolism in the liver, leading to a quicker onset of action.

A: Suspended release would not provide a rapid onset as it is designed for a slow and controlled release of the medication.
B: Transdermal patch delivers the medication through the skin slowly over an extended period, not providing a rapid onset.
C:
Topical ointment also delivers the medication slowly through the skin and is not ideal for a rapid onset.
In summary, sublingual administration of nitroglycerin is the most appropriate for a quick response in cases of angina or acute chest pain.
