A nurse is teaching a client who has angina about a new prescription for sublingual nitroglycerin tablets. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Keep the tablets at room temperature in their original glass bottle. Nitroglycerin tablets are sensitive to light, moisture, and heat. Storing them in their original glass bottle at room temperature helps maintain their efficacy.

Choice B is incorrect as nitroglycerin tablets should be replaced every 6 months after opening, not discarded.
Choice D is incorrect as nitroglycerin tablets are meant to be placed under the tongue, not between the cheek and gum.
