The nurse teaches the client about sublingual nitroglycerin administration. Which
client statement indicates further teaching is necessary? - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔-
I will swallow frequently until the tablet completely dissolves.
Nitroglycerin is used to prevent angina (chest pain) caused by coronary artery
disease. This medicine is also used to relieve an angina attack that is already
occurring. Nitroglycerin belongs to the group of medicines called nitrates. It works
by relaxing the blood vessels and increasing the supply of blood and oxygen to the
heart while reducing its work load. When used regularly on a long-term basis, or
just before exercise or a stressful event, this helps prevent angina attacks from
occurring.
What happens if you swallow a nitroglycerin tablet?
If you accidentally swallow the tablet, take another. The medicine won't work if
you swallow it. For between-cheek-and-gum (buccal) tablets, place the tablet
between your cheek and gum. Leave it there until it dissolves. Nitroglycerin
sublingual tablets should not be chewed, crushed, or swallowed. They work much
faster when absorbed through the lining of the mouth.

ANSWER ✔✔- Report any temperature increases to your health care provider

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disorder that can affect more than
just your joints. In some people, the condition can damage a wide variety of body
systems, including the skin, eyes, lungs, heart and blood vessels.

, An autoimmune disorder, rheumatoid arthritis occurs when your immune system
mistakenly attacks your own body's tissues. Unlike the wear-and-tear damage of
osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis affects the lining of your joints, causing a
painful swelling that can eventually result in bone erosion and joint deformity.
The inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis is what can damage other
parts of the body as well. While new types of medications have improved
treatment options dramatically, severe rheumatoid arthritis can still cause
physical disabilities.
Signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis may include:
Tender, warm, swollen joints
Joint stiffness that is usually worse in the mornings and after inactivity
Fatigue, fever and loss of appetite
How does methotrexate work? Methotrexate calms your immune system, to help
stop it attacking your body's cells. This helps reduce the inflammation that causes
swollen and stiff joints in rheumatoid arthritis, thickened skin in psoriasis or
damage to your bowel in Crohn's disease (A chronic inflammatory bowel disease
that affects the lining of the digestive tract.). Methotrexate is not a painkiller.
Methotrexate may cause serious or life-threatening skin reactions. If you
experience any of the following symptoms, call your doctor immediately: fever,
rash, blisters, or peeling skin. Methotrexate may decrease the activity of your
immune system, and you may develop serious infections.
