Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Headache is a well-known and common side effect of nitroglycerin, and it usually decreases over time as the client becomes more tolerant to the medication. A smaller dose may not be effective in managing the client's condition and hypersensitivity reaction is not a likely explanation for this particular side effect.
