In administering a nitroglycerin transdermal patch to a client with chronic angina pectoris, in which order should the practical nurse (PN) carry out the actions? (Arrange from first action on top to last on the bottom.)

A. Informing the client of the purpose of the medication is the first step. This action ensures that the client understands why they are receiving the medication and what it is intended to do. C. Putting on a clean pair of gloves is the next step to maintain hygiene and prevent contamination while handling the medication and applying the patch. B. Placing the patch on a new area of cleansed skin follows glove application. Ensuring that the skin is clean and that a new site is used prevents irritation and ensures the effectiveness of the medication. D. Documenting the application in the electronic medication record is the final step to complete the medication administration process. This ensures that the medication administration is recorded accurately for future reference and compliance.
