Question 1 of 5
A patient with peptic ulcer disease is scheduled to receive doses of pantoprazole IV and sucralfate PO before breakfast at 0800. The patient reports experiencing heartburn. The nurse brings the scheduled medications. Which action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Administering both medications before breakfast (
D) ensures optimal efficacy. Sucralfate forms a protective ulcer barrier on an empty stomach, 1 hour before meals. Pantoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, reduces acid production and is most effective before meals. Antacids (
A) interfere with sucralfate absorption. Taking sucralfate with food (
B) reduces efficacy. Delaying pantoprazole (
C) decreases acid suppression.
