Answer:
4. "If my chest pain is not gone with one tablet, I will go to the ER."
Explanation:
People with coronary artery disease, which is characterized by sudden attacks of angina, are usually placed on sublingual nitroglycerin medications. Sublingual nitroglycerin is a small pill that is placed under the tongue, just as the name “sublingual” suggests. When placed under the tongue, it dissolves and is absorbed quickly into the body. The drug usually becomes active within 2 to 5 minutes and lasts between 15 to 30 minutes.
In cases where the patient suffers from frequent chest pain, it is recommended that the patient repeats the dose for a total of 2 to 3 doses 5 minutes apart, and the chest pain doesn’t subside, the patient can immediately call 911 or ED.
The patient in the question above demonstrates a good level of knowledge of the right use of the medication prescribed, except in the 4th Statement. The patient needs to be educated more about the use of the sublingual nitroglycerin. He needs to do a repeated dosage of one tablet every 5 minutes, if he still feels pain after the third tablet, he can then go to the ER or 911.
The long term ill-ness one you would have had time to prepare for, but it doesn't make it any better. It just seems to not hurt as long. You'll be sad for a couple of days. The sudden unexpected one will tear you apart. You'll be shocked and for that you'll wonder, why them and how. You'll most likely be very sad for a long time.
