A patient who has suffered a hemorrhagic stroke is placed on a protocol of 60 mg nimodipine (calcium channel blocker) every 4 hours. The patient’s pulse is 82 prior to the administration of the prescribed dose. The nurse should:
1.   give the full dose as prescribed, without further assessment.
2.   omit the dose, recording the pulse rate as the rationale.
3.   delay the dose until the pulse is below 60.
4.   give half of the prescribed dose (30 mg).


This is for my medical nursing class
