A nurse is providing discharge instructions to a client who has a new prescription for omeprazole for the treatment of GERD. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?

Choice B is incorrect as omeprazole does not neutralize stomach acid but rather decreases its production.
