  1. Short verbal responses are easy to learn.
  2. Limited visual material with more verbal responses may be helpful.

  4. A variety of teaching methods, including written information and audiotapes, are useful.

Question 2

The nurse gives the patient discharge instructions about how to store nitroglycerin sublingual tablets to keep the medication fresh for use at all times.

  2. with cotton over the top of the medication.
  3. in a dark glass bottle out of the sunlight.
  4. in the refrigerator tightly closed.
