Question 1 of 5
A nurse is completing a medication history for a client who reports using over-the-counter calcium carbonate antacid. Which of the following recommendations should the nurse make about taking this medication?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Calcium carbonate antacids should be taken with a full glass of water to ensure proper dissolution and absorption, reducing gastrointestinal irritation. Dairy products can form insoluble calcium salts, reducing absorption. Calcium carbonate may cause constipation, not diarrhea, so decreasing dietary bulk is inappropriate. Reducing sodium intake is not specific to this medication.
