Question 1 of 5

A nurse is teaching with a group of nurses about the administration of nitroglycerin. Which of the following routes of administration provides the most rapid onset for the client?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Sublingual. Sublingual administration bypasses the digestive system, allowing rapid absorption directly into the bloodstream through the mucous membranes under the tongue. This route provides the fastest onset of action, making it ideal for medications like nitroglycerin that require quick effects in emergencies. Transdermal patch (
A) and topical ointment (
B) have slower absorption rates through the skin. Suspended-release (
C) formulations are designed for controlled, gradual release over time, not rapid onset.
Therefore, sublingual administration is the most suitable for achieving the desired rapid effect with nitroglycerin.
