Which patient instruction will help prevent tolerance to nitrate therapy?

One of the ways to prevent tolerance is to change the dosing of regular nitrate therapy to guarantee a nitrate-free interval. For example, if patients take nitrate patches, the recommendation is only to wear them for 12 hours to allow a nitrate-free interval of 8–12 hours. This minimises the risk of tolerance.

Which instruction does the nurse provide to the patient for correct application of nitroglycerin?

Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets should not be chewed, crushed, or swallowed. They work much faster when absorbed through the lining of the mouth.

You may shower while you are wearing a nitroglycerin skin patch.
