Question 1 of 5

The nurse reviews the newly written prescriptions for a client admitted with the diagnoses of coronary artery disease and hypertension. Which prescription should the nurse implement first?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Nitroglycerin 0.4 mg SL PRN for a client complaining of chest pain. This is the priority because chest pain in a client with coronary artery disease indicates a potential acute cardiac event. Nitroglycerin helps dilate coronary arteries, improving blood flow to the heart and relieving chest pain. This medication should be administered promptly to alleviate symptoms and prevent further complications.
Incorrect

Choices:
A: Furosemide is a diuretic used for fluid retention, not for immediate cardiac symptom relief.
C: Metoprolol is a beta-blocker used for long-term management of hypertension and heart conditions, not for acute chest pain.
D: Diltiazem is a calcium channel blocker used for hypertension and heart conditions, not for immediate relief of chest pain.
