Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Allow her to self-administer her own sublingual nitroglycerin; monitor vitals
For an angina patient who becomes symptomatic, have the patient take her own sublingual nitroglycerin (0.4 mg) every 5 minutes (up to 3 doses), give oxygen, keep her seated or supine with legs elevated, and call 911 if pain persists 15 minutes or vitals deteriorate. Her own medication is the correct first response.8. TMJ, Occlusion & Orofacial Pain
