Rationale: The correct answer is C: Drug overdose. Removing the old nitroglycerin patch is crucial before starting the intravenous infusion to prevent a potential overdose.

This can lead to severe hypotension, dizziness, and other serious complications. Skin irritation (
A) is not a significant concern in this scenario. Interactions with other medications (
B) may occur but are not the primary reason for removing the patch. Loss of the patch (
D) is not a critical issue compared to the risk of overdosing.
