Delay in a sublingual dose of nitroglycerin puts a client at risk for a myocardial infarction. Nitroglycerin is indicated to relieve chest pain and increase cardiac output by intensifying the blood flow and redistributing blood to the affected myocardial tissue. The client would be experiencing an angina attack, triggering the usage of the nitroglycerin medication. Atrial fibrillation would not be corrected with the use of nitroglycerin. A hypertensive reaction would not be the result of delaying the usage of nitroglycerin.
