Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Sustained-release nitroglycerin tablets are usually taken on an empty stomach every 8 to 12 hours. If gastritis develops, it may be necessary to take these tablets with food. To be effective, sustained-release nitroglycerin must be taken more often. Sustained-release nitroglycerin is taken to prevent angina; waiting until symptoms occur decreases its effectiveness.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Every 6 months, the nitroglycerin prescription should be refilled and the old tablets safely discarded. Nitroglycerin has a longer shelf life than 1 or 3 months but does not have a shelf life as long as 1 year.
