The nurse has taught a client who has been prescribed nitroglycerin transdermal. Which of the following statements by the client would indicate a correct understanding of the teaching?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Applying a nitroglycerin transdermal patch to a shaved area ensures good adhesion and absorption, indicating correct understanding. Nitroglycerin patches are typically removed for 10-12 hours to prevent tolerance, not 4-6 hours. While water-resistant, applying below the knee is not standard and does not reduce headache risk.
