Answer to Question 1

2

Rationale 1:Your chest pain should go away with one tablet is incorrect because it could take three tablets given 5 minutes apart to relieve chest pain from angina.
Rationale 2: If the client still has chest pain after the third tablet, the client should call 911. The client might be having a heart attack.
Rationale 3:If your chest pain doesn't go away with one tablet, you can repeat the dose as many times as you need to is incorrect because the client should call 911 if the pain does not go away after the third tablet.
Rationale 4:Be sure to call 911 before you take any tablets is incorrect because the client should try three doses given 5 minutes apart before calling 911. The client should only call 911 if the pain does not go away with three doses.

Global Rationale: If the client still has chest pain after the third tablet, the client should call 911. The client might be having a heart attack.
