Answer before reading; these surface the assumptions worth testing. 1. A client reports chest tightness that appears reliably after climbing two flights of stairs and disappears within three minutes of sitting down. Is this an emergency? 2. The same client reports that this week the tightness has started appearing while watching television. Has anything meaningful changed? 3. Which lowers this client's long-term risk more: a medication that relieves the chest tightness when it occurs, or one that does not change the symptom at all? Hold your answers until the closing section.
