When instructing a client regarding the correct method to utilize nitroglycerin tablets, the nurse tells the client if the pain persists after three tablets are used at 5 minute intervals, the client should:
 
  1. call 911 and go to the hospital.
  2. sleep for 1 hour and see if the pain is resolved.
  3. take a fourth tablet and the pain will go away.
  4. drink an extra glass of water to help with digestion.

Question 2

A client recovering from anesthesia in the care unit has an artificial airway. The nurse knows the purpose of an artificial airway is to:
 
  1. keep the mouth open.
  2. keep the tongue from blocking the airway.
  3. keep the client from vomiting.
  4. allow the client to talk.

Answer to Question 1

1
The patient should go to the hospital right away. This could be a sign of an impending myocardial infarction. The client should not sleep for an hour, take a fourth tablet, or drink a glass of water.

Answer to Question 2

2
The artificial airway ensures that the tongue does not block the upper airway. An artificial airway may or may not keep the mouth open. An artificial airway will not prevent the client from vomiting and is not used to facilitate client communication.
