He has been having increasing numbers of chest pain episodes especially after he climbs the steps in his home to get to the second floor. He has also had a few angina- like attacks in his workshop behind the garage of his home. They occurred when he had to lift and rearrange several heavy boxes in order to get to the tools and manuals he was looking for. Both the stair climbing and box moving episodes were short lived and stopped within 2 minutes of stopping the activity. He came to your clinic and you referred him to cardiology for a work-up. After a treadmill test, which demonstrated transient ST segment alterations during high workloads, he was given the diagnosis of intermittent ischemic angina. He was prescribed a standard ¼ gr sl dose in a brown colored bottle. He was given a prescription for three of the bottles to be filled at once. He comes back to your clinic for some clarification.1. Why is the medication in a brown bottle?2. Why did the cardiologist order three bottles at the same time?3. Your student nurse practitioner (NP) questions why this patient was given the standard ¼ gr form, when the last patient seen with angina had a different form of NTG ordered.
