Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the list of current medications for a client who has a new prescription for nitroglycerin. The nurse should identify that which of the following client medications is contraindicated for use with nitroglycerin?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Sildenafil. Nitroglycerin and sildenafil both lower blood pressure, and combining them can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure leading to hypotension, syncope, or even a heart attack.
Therefore, they are contraindicated together. Lansoprazole (
A) is a proton pump inhibitor used for acid reflux and is safe to use with nitroglycerin. Diazepam (
B) is a benzodiazepine used for anxiety and muscle spasms, which does not interact significantly with nitroglycerin. Gemfibrozil (
D) is a lipid-lowering medication and does not have any significant interactions with nitroglycerin.
