You are on the scene of a 48-year-old male patient complaining of chest pain. He has nitroglycerin prescribed and available. After performing your physical examination, you contact medical control and are ordered to assist the patient in taking his nitroglycerin. Five minutes after taking his nitroglycerin, the patient complains of being dizzy and having a headache. You lie the patient down on the stretcher and reassess his vital signs. He is now hypotensive. The patient is:
A) suffering from an untoward reaction to nitroglycerin.
B) suffering from an allergic reaction to nitroglycerin.
C) suffering from an anaphylactic reaction to nitroglycerin.
D) suffering from the side effects of nitroglycerin.
