ATI Pharmacology Exam 2 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 coincide with the body's natural circadian rhythm and reduce the risk of nitrate tolerance. Applying the patch in the morning helps to provide continuous and consistent therapeutic effects throughout the day when angina episodes are more likely to occur.


Choice A is incorrect because waiting until chest pain is experienced to apply a new patch is not recommended as it may delay the onset of action.
Choice C is incorrect as it is important to rotate patch sites to prevent skin irritation and tolerance.
Choice D is incorrect because nitroglycerin patches are usually applied daily rather than once a week for optimal effectiveness.
