ATI N211 Pharmacology Exam I Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is teaching a client who has a new prescription for transdermal nitroglycerin to treat angina pectoris. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Apply the transdermal patch in the morning. Nitroglycerin patches are typically applied in the morning to mimic the body's natural circadian rhythm of increased cardiac workload during the day. This timing helps optimize the therapeutic effects of the medication when the heart is under greater stress. Applying the patch at night may lead to decreased efficacy during times of increased cardiac demand.

Choice A is incorrect because it is recommended to rotate application sites to prevent skin irritation.
Choice C is incorrect because nitroglycerin is used as a preventative measure, not as a rescue medication for acute chest pain.
Choice D is incorrect because nitroglycerin patches are usually applied daily, not weekly.
