The nurse is preparing to administer a sublingual nitroglycerin tablet. With regard to the first-pass effect, the nurse understands that:
1. The first-pass effect will decrease the drug's effectiveness by one-third.
2. Drugs given sublingually are subject to the first-pass effect.
3. The first-pass effect will neutralize this drug's effect.
4. Drugs given sublingually bypass the first-pass effect.
