Verified Answers
Following the administration of sublingual nitroglycerin to a client experiencing an acute anginal
attack, which assessment finding indicates to the nurse that the desired effect has been achieved?
A) Client states chest pain is relieved...
myocardial oxygen consumption and preload. Capoten (D) is an angiotensin converting enzyme
(ACE) inhibitor that acts to prevents vasoconstriction, thereby decreasing blood pressure and
afterload.
Which dosing schedule should the nurse teach the client to observe for a controlled-release
oxycodone prescription?
A) As needed.
B) Every 12 hours.
C) Every 24 hours.
D) Every 4 to 6 hours. - answer✔Every 12 hours
Rationale: A controlled-release oxycodone provides long-acting analgesia to relieve moderate to
severe pain, so a dosing schedule of every 12 hours (B) provides the best around-the-clock pain
management. Controlled-release oxycodone is not prescribed for breakthrough pain on a PRN or
as needed schedule (A). (C) is inadequate for continuous pain management. Using a schedule of
every 4 to 6 hours (D) may jeopardize patient safety due to cumulative effects.
A peak and trough level must be drawn for a client receiving antibiotic therapy. What is the
optimum time for the nurse to obtain the trough level?
