11. your patient, mr. scott, reports that he feels pressure in his chest. reviewing mr. scott's medical record, you see that he is prescribed nitroglycerin to be administered "sl"; this means you would administer the medication to mr. scott by a. mixing it with a glass of juice. b. applying it under the skin. c. placing it under his tongue. d. splitting the pill and giving half the dose every hour.

The answer is C by placing it under his tongue. The term "SL" listed on Mr.Scott's record means sublingual in medical terms. To add on, sublingual means to be situated or applied under the tongue. By understanding these abbreviations you can make sure every patient receives the correct care to help him or her. Hope this helped :))

i don't really know the circumstances. i personally think not due to it not being fair for all parties and how hated i'd become if i thought it was a good thing.
