Free NCLEX RN Questions on Health Promotion and Maintenance Nursing Practice Question
The nurse is providing instructions to a client with peptic ulcer disease about symptom management. Which statement by the client indicates that teaching was effective?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Eating slowly and chewing thoroughly helps prevent overdistention and reflux. Bedtime snacks are avoided because they can promote nighttime acid secretion. Acetaminophen is administered for routine pain relief during treatment. All nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and aspirin are avoided. Antacids will interfere with the absorption of famotidine (Pepcid), a histamine-2 (H2) receptor antagonist, and should therefore not be taken concurrently.
