A nurse is reinforcing teaching a client who has peptic ulcer disease and is starting therapy with sucralfate. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Take the medication 1 hr before meals. This is because sucralfate forms a protective barrier over the ulcer, which is most effective when the stomach is empty. Taking it before meals ensures optimal effectiveness.
Choice A is incorrect because sucralfate is not for pain relief but for healing ulcers.
Choice C is incorrect as sucralfate should be stored at room temperature.
Choice D is incorrect as antacids can interfere with the effectiveness of sucralfate by altering the stomach pH.
