- CAssess blood pressure before and after administration✓ 正解給藥前後評估血壓

硝化甘油(Nitroglycerin)主要用於緩解心絞痛,透過血管擴張降低心肌耗氧量。給藥時必須確保經由舌下黏膜吸收,以繞過肝臟首渡效應(First-pass effect)並快速進入循環。護理重點在於監測血壓波動(預防過度低血壓)以及評估副作用(如頭痛)。此外,此藥對光線與熱極度敏感,保存環境不當會導致藥效喪失。
Nitroglycerin must be placed sublingually to bypass hepatic first-pass metabolism and ensure rapid absorption. As a potent vasodilator, it requires blood pressure monitoring to detect hypotension, and nurses should assess for headaches, a common side effect. Additionally, the medication is light-sensitive and must be stored in its original light-resistant container to maintain potency.
在美國,硝化甘油舌下錠通常由病人隨身攜帶。護理師需特別強調其保存期限(開瓶後通常為6個月),並教導病人若連續使用3次仍無效,應立即呼叫救護車(911),而非僅是休息。
