B
When a patient experiences an acute attack of angina in the clinic, the primary care NP should be prepared to treat the condition. After giving nitroglycerin, oxygen should be administered. An electrocardiogram is not immediately indicated. Chewable aspirin is given if the angina is unrelieved and when the patient is being transported to the hospital. EMS should be activated if there is no pain relief 5 minutes after the first dose of nitroglycerin.
