Question 1 of 5
A client who has been taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is experiencing gastric pain and blood in his stool. The healthcare provider discontinues the NSAIDs and prescribes esomeprazole. Which information should the nurse include in this client’s teaching plan?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale:
Rationale: Option D is correct because black stools can indicate gastrointestinal bleeding, a potential side effect of NSAIDs. The nurse should instruct the client to notify the healthcare provider immediately if this occurs to prevent further complications. Option A is incorrect as a diet high in milk and cream could worsen gastric issues. Option B is incorrect as diarrhea and headache are common side effects of esomeprazole and may not warrant immediate action. Option C is incorrect as resuming NSAID therapy without addressing the bleeding would be dangerous.
