Answer:

Neurons are the cells that are an essential part of the nervous system and sends and receives nerve impulses from the external world to the brain and spinal cord and then to muscles. Neurons transmit signals between various parts of the nervous sytem.

If an individual experiencing tissue damage in his finger it will activate nociceptors that are special types of receptors for pain present in the skin. These receptors send signals or nerve impulses to the peripheral nerve to the spinal cord with the help of sensory neurons where neurotransmitters are released.

Chemical signals activate the nerve signals in the brain that are processed relayed to the frontal cortex for thinking, the somatosensory cortex for sensation, and the limbic system for the response.

There are choices for this question namely:

Ativan 1 mg orally 
<span>Nitroglycerin SL </span>
<span>Serum electrolytes </span>
<span>Chest x-ray
</span>
The correct answer is "Nitroglycerin SL". The SL means sublingually. The physician will still order Nitroglycerin to be taken sublingually whenever there is chest pain. The patient's medication may have been expired being stored for 12 months now. Ativan or Lorazepam will not be given as this is a sedative and there is no indication for sedatives.

Serum electrolytes and chest xray will not be requested as these diagnostic examinations are not usually done in patients with stable angina.
