The male client is diagnosed with coronary artery disease (CAD) and is prescribed sublingual nitroglycerin. Which statement indi
Gennadij [26K]

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.

What is the most effective way to deal with violence based on hate?
Ne4ueva [31]
<span> the most effective way to deal with violence based on hate is education.
Most people hate something that they don't understand.
for example, most people hate rich people not becuase their richnes, but because deep down they wanted to obtain the same amount of wealth as them but they don't know how. Education will bring us to a newer perspective which led us to have fewer tendency toward violence
