Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who has a new prescription for nitroglycerin sublingual tablets for treating angina. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Place the tablet under the tongue until dissolved. Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets are administered by placing them under the tongue to allow for rapid absorption into the bloodstream. This ensures quick relief of angina symptoms. Choosing option A is incorrect as calling 911 if pain persists should be done after taking three tablets 5 minutes apart. Option C is incorrect because nitroglycerin tablets should be stored in their original container at room temperature. Option D is incorrect because the client should take a maximum of three tablets every 5 minutes for chest pain relief.
