A client with angina is experiencing migraine headaches. The physician has prescribed Sumatriptan succinate (Imitrex). Which nursing action is most appropriate?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Sumatriptan, a triptan, is contraindicated in angina due to vasoconstrictive effects, risking coronary ischemia. Questioning the order (A) is priority. Samples (B), teaching (C), and financial aid (D) are inappropriate without resolving the contraindication.
