A nurse is teaching the partner of a client who had an acute myocardial infarction (MI) about the reason blood was drawn from the client. Which of the following statements should the nurse make regarding cardiac enzyme studies?

Taking one tablet at the first indication of chest pain is the correct way to use SL nitroglycerin tablets, as they are fast- acting and can relieve anginal symptoms within minutes. The client should place the tablet under the tongue and let it dissolve.

Taking one tablet at the first indication of chest pain is the correct way to use SL nitroglycerin tablets, as they are fast- acting and can relieve anginal symptoms within minutes. The client should place the tablet under the tongue and let it dissolve.

Taking this medication after each meal and at bedtime is not appropriate, as SL nitroglycerin tablets are not meant for routine or prophylactic use, but only for acute episodes of angina.

Taking one tablet every 15 min during an acute attack is not correct, as the client should not exceed three doses in 15 min. If the pain is not relieved after three doses, the client should seek emergency medical attention.

Taking this medication with 8 ounces of water is not necessary, as SL nitroglycerin tablets do not need to be swallowed or washed down with water. They should be dissolved under the tongue for optimal absorption.

Cytotoxic hypersensitivity is a type of hypersensitivity that involves the production of IgG or IgM antibodies that bind to antigens on the surface of cells, leading to cell destruction by complement activation or antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. Myasthenia gravis is an example of a cytotoxic hypersensitivity, as it is caused by autoantibodies that target the acetylcholine receptors on the muscle cells, impairing neuromuscular transmission and causing muscle weakness.

Delayed hypersensitivity is a type of hypersensitivity that involves the activation of T cells and macrophages, leading to inflammation and tissue damage after several hours or days of exposure to an antigen. Examples of delayed hypersensitivity include contact dermatitis, tuberculin skin test, and transplant rejection.

Immediate hypersensitivity is a type of hypersensitivity that involves the production of IgE antibodies that bind to mast cells or basophils, leading to degranulation and release of histamine and other mediators, causing anaphylaxis, urticaria, or allergic rhinitis within minutes of exposure to an antigen.

Immune complex-mediated hypersensitivity is a type of hypersensitivity that involves the formation of antigen- antibody complexes that deposit in tissues or blood vessels, leading to complement activation and inflammation, causing vasculitis, glomerulonephritis, or serum sickness within hours or days of exposure to an antigen.
