Question 1 of 5
A nurse is admitting a client who has acute pancreatitis. Which of the following provider prescriptions should the nurse anticipate?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Pancrelipase may be prescribed to aid in digestion in chronic pancreatitis but is not typically used in the acute phase. While ambulation may be encouraged as tolerated, it is not a specific prescription for acute pancreatitis. Pantoprazole, **C**. Pantoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, is often prescribed in acute pancreatitis to reduce gastric acid secretion, thereby reducing pancreatic stimulation and promoting healing. In acute pancreatitis, dietary intake is typically restricted initially, often starting with nothing by mouth (NPO) and progressing to a clear liquid diet as tolerated; a low-residue diet is usually introduced at a later stage.
