Question

question 42 2 pts which of the following regarding nitroglycerin administration is correct? chewing ntg may speed the onset of action. ntg goes between the cheek and gum and must not be expired. contraindications for ntg include headache and burning under the tongue. ntg goes under the tongue and must not be expired.

Explanation:

Nitroglycerin (NTG) is typically administered sub - lingually (under the tongue) for rapid absorption. It should not be expired. Headache is a common side - effect, not a contraindication, and burning under the tongue can be normal. Chewing is not the correct way of administration. Buccal administration (between the cheek and gum) is also a method but sub - lingual is more common. The correct statement here is that NTG goes under the tongue and must not be expired.

Answer:

Ntg goes under the tongue and must not be expired.
