Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who has angina about nitroglycerin sublingual tablets. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Rationale for correct answer D: Nitroglycerin dilates cardiac blood vessels to deliver more oxygen to the heart. Nitroglycerin works by dilating the blood vessels, including the coronary arteries, which increases blood flow and oxygen delivery to the heart muscle. This helps to relieve chest pain associated with angina. It does not dissolve blood clots or have any direct effect on clotting. Additionally, the recommended dosing for nitroglycerin is not to take a tablet every 5 minutes for 30 minutes, as this could lead to hypotension. Storing nitroglycerin in the bathroom cabinet is not recommended due to heat and moisture exposure, which could reduce its effectiveness.
