Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of four clients who have peptic ulcer disease. The nurse should identify that misoprostol (Cytotec) is contraindicated for which of the following clients?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: A client who is pregnant. Misoprostol is contraindicated in pregnancy as it can cause uterine contractions, leading to potential harm to the fetus. Misoprostol is a prostaglandin analog that is used to prevent gastric ulcers in patients on long-term NSAID therapy.
Choices A, C, and D do not have specific contraindications with misoprostol use. A client with a kidney stone, urinary tract infection, or osteoarthritis can safely take misoprostol for peptic ulcer disease without significant risks.
