Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has a peptic ulcer and is receiving sucralfate. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Administer the medication 1 hour before meals. Sucralfate forms a protective barrier over the ulcer, so administering it before meals allows it to adhere to the ulcer site without interference from food or gastric acid. This timing maximizes its therapeutic effect. Administering it with meals (choice
A) may reduce its efficacy as it could bind to food instead of the ulcer. Crushing the tablet (choice
B) is not recommended as it alters the drug's release mechanism. Mixing it with an antacid (choice
D) may decrease sucralfate's effectiveness by altering its pH-dependent activation.
Therefore, choice C is the most appropriate action for optimal therapeutic outcome.
