The fact that nitroglycerin did not relieve the pain, even after taking three doses, is a significant indicator that the client may have developed myocardial infarction. This is because nitroglycerin is commonly used to relieve the symptoms of angina, which has similar symptoms to myocardial infarction. If the medication is not effective in relieving the pain, it suggests a more serious condition. The other answer choices are not helpful in providing information about the presence of a myocardial infarction.
