Question 1 of 5
A client has excessive and painful gas. The nurse checks the client's medication orders and prepares to administer which drug for this problem?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Simethicone. Simethicone is an anti-gas medication that works by breaking down gas bubbles in the digestive tract, providing relief from excessive and painful gas. Famotidine (
A) is used to treat heartburn and stomach ulcers, not gas. Aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide (
C) are antacids used for heartburn and indigestion, not specifically for gas. Calcium carbonate (
D) is also an antacid used for heartburn and indigestion, not gas.
Therefore, based on the client's symptoms of excessive and painful gas, the most appropriate choice is simethicone.
