Question

Four patients with angina are receiving a form of nitroglycerin, as follows: Charlotte, age 88, takes 10 mg four times a day to prevent angina. Dale, age 63, takes a form that delivers 0.2 mg/hr, also to prevent angina. Raissa, age 58, takes 0.4 mg only if needed for chest pain. Kenneth, age 62, is in the hospital with severe, unstable angina and is receiving 100 mcg/hr. You may refer to the section on nitroglycerin in Chapter 24 or to a nursing drug handbook to answer these questions.

1. State the route or form of nitroglycerin that each patient is receiving. In addition, specify the generic name(s) and trade name(s) for each form.

2. For each patient, state the rationale for the route or form of drug that was chosen. Which forms have immediate action? Why would this be important?

3. Which form or forms are most affected by the first-pass effect? Explain your answer.
