Answer: A - Nitroglycerin ointment cab be applied onto a non-hairy skin area, usually the chest, back, or upper arm, using a dose-measuring application paper. The ointment is spread in a thin, uniform layer without rubbing or massaging into the skin. It is recommended to avoid nitroglycerin ointment application on distal parts of extremities, on irritated skin, or on scarred skin, which can impair its absorption.
