Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the medical record of a client who has a peptic ulcer. Which of the following findings should the nurse recognize as a risk factor for this condition?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Bulimia involves episodes of binge eating followed by purging and can lead to a range of gastrointestinal issues, including esophageal damage and electrolyte imbalances. However, it is not a direct risk factor for the development of peptic ulcers. While it can affect the digestive system, it does not inherently increase the risk of ulcers. Green tea is generally considered to have health benefits and is not typically associated with an increased risk of peptic ulcers. In some cases, it may even provide protective effects against gastric ulcers due to its antioxidant properties. Moderate alcohol consumption can have varying effects on gastric mucosa. While excessive alcohol consumption is a risk factor for developing ulcers, moderate consumption, such as a glass of wine with dinner, is not typically considered a significant risk factor. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can irritate the gastric lining and inhibit the production of protective mucus, leading to an increased risk of developing ulcers.
