A patient comes in with a complaint of chest pain...
One of the many orders are for SL Nitro every five minutes times three for chest pain.
One of the residents is assessing the patient while I am taking vitals and popping nitros under the patients tongue.
After the second nitro the patient states he is pain free.
The resident pulls me to the side and ask, "do you still give him the third nitro if he is pain free?"
Hmmmmm.
