Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Headache and dizziness commonly occur at the start of nitroglycerin therapy. When administering nitroglycerin, the nurse must use caution to avoid self-contamination, especially with the topical paste formulation because the nurse can experience the same symptoms. However, the patient usually develops a tolerance. Nervousness, paresthesia, drowsiness, blurred vision, tinnitus, and diplopia do not occur as a result of nitroglycerin therapy.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Prednisone's peak effect occurs 1 to 2 hours after administering the drug. If given at 8 AM, the expected peak would occur between 9 and 10 AM.
