Monitor blood pressure continuously Show
[Milrinone lactate (Primacor) is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor administered intravenously for short-term treatment in patients with heart failure not responding adequately to digoxin, diuretics, or other vasodilators. Blood pressure and heart rate should be closely monitored. Digoxin is not administered with the milrinone but is usually tried before treatment with milrinone. Furosemide is not necessarily administered after the milrinone, although it could be. It is not, however, administered routinely via IV infusion. Lactated Ringer's does not have to be administered with milrinone] What the nurse should instruct when teaching the patient with angina about taking nitroglycerin tablets?Adults—1 tablet placed under the tongue or between the cheek and gum at the first sign of an angina attack. 1 tablet may be used every 5 minutes as needed, for up to 15 minutes. Do not take more than 3 tablets in 15 minutes. To prevent angina from exercise or stress, use 1 tablet 5 to 10 minutes before the activity.
Which instruction should the nurse provide to the patient who needs to apply nitroglycerin ointment?Do not rub or massage the ointment into the skin. Spread it in a thin, even layer, and cover an area of skin that is the same size each time it is applied. Apply the ointment to skin with little or no hair that is free of scars, cuts, or irritation.
When applying transdermal nitroglycerin patches How will the nurse instruct the patient?Do not apply the patch to your arms below the elbows, to your legs below the knees, or to skin folds. Apply the patch to clean, dry, hairless skin that is not irritated, scarred, burned, broken, or calloused. Choose a different area each day. You may shower while you are wearing a nitroglycerin skin patch.
Which will the nurse include in the teaching about sublingual nitroglycerin?Place one tablet under the tongue. Inform the patient NOT to swallow or chew the tablet, but let it dissolve under the tongue. In addition, have the patient NOT eat or drink anything for 10-15 minutes after administration.
