  2. Pain from a myocardial infarction lasts longer than angina pain does.
  3. The pain from a myocardial infarction does not go away after three doses of nitroglycerin.
  4. If I am experiencing an infarction, I will have other symptoms besides pain.

Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1

1. Nitroglycerin for angina may be taken three times with 5 minutes between doses. If the pain does not decrease, the client should be instructed to seek immediate medical attention.
2. Pain from a myocardial infarction lasts longer than pain from angina.
3. Nitroglycerin is not effective against pain from a myocardial infarction.
4. With angina, the client experiences pain. If the client is experiencing a myocardial infarction, there will be shortness of breath, sweating, pallor, and nausea.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4

1. The physician does not need to be notified, as this is normal for this client.
2. The code cart is not needed for this client.
3. The client might need to lie down if there were symptoms, which are not evident here.
4. Athletes frequently have lower heart rates than nonathletes, which is a normal phenomenon for them. These clients do not have symptoms associated with sinus bradycardia.
