Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a patient who has a new prescription for omeprazole. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include? What instructions should the nurse include for omeprazole?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Take the medication on an empty stomach. Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that works best when taken on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before a meal. This allows for optimal absorption and effectiveness in reducing stomach acid production. Taking it with food may decrease its absorption and effectiveness.
Choice A is incorrect because taking omeprazole with food can interfere with its absorption.
Choice C is incorrect as taking it at bedtime may not provide the best conditions for absorption.
Choice D is incorrect because omeprazole can be taken with antacids if needed, but it's best to separate the doses by at least 2 hours.
