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: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Pantoprazole 80 mg IV bolus twice daily. In acute pancreatitis, gastric acid hypersecretion can occur, leading to exacerbation of pancreatic inflammation. Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that helps reduce gastric acid secretion, which can alleviate pancreatic irritation. IV administration ensures rapid onset of action.

B: Furosemide is a diuretic used for conditions like heart failure or edema, not indicated for acute pancreatitis.

C: Lactulose is a laxative used for hepatic encephalopathy to reduce ammonia levels, not indicated for acute pancreatitis.

D: Acetaminophen is a pain reliever, but it does not address the underlying cause of acute pancreatitis.
