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: The correct action is to administer both medications before breakfast as scheduled (
D). Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that should be taken on an empty stomach to optimize its effectiveness in reducing stomach acid production. Sucralfate forms a protective barrier in the stomach and should also be taken on an empty stomach. Providing a PRN antacid (
A) is unnecessary as the scheduled medications address the issue. Instructing the client to take sucralfate with breakfast (
B) contradicts the medication's instructions. Holding the dose of IV pantoprazole (
C) delays treatment and may affect its efficacy.
