Question 1 of 5

A client who has recently been prescribed Sucralfate makes which statement that indicates they need more education about their medication?

A. This medication will help prevent future ulcers. B. I should not take this medication with food. C. This medication can cause constipation. D. I will call my doctor if I start coughing up blood.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale:
Correct Answer: B - "I should not take this medication with food."

Rationale: Sucralfate forms a protective barrier in the stomach to help treat ulcers. It should be taken on an empty stomach to ensure its effectiveness, as food can interfere with its absorption.
Therefore, the client needs more education to understand the importance of taking Sucralfate without food to maximize its therapeutic benefits.

Summary of other choices:
A: This statement indicates a good understanding of the medication's purpose.
C: While constipation is a possible side effect of Sucralfate, it does not indicate a need for further education.
D: Mentioning the need to contact the doctor if coughing up blood occurs shows awareness of a serious side effect and appropriate action.
