Question 1 of 5
The client with acute pancreatitis asks why she is taking omeprazole. What is the nurse's best response?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Omeprazole is not primarily prescribed to enhance nutrient absorption; its main action is to reduce gastric acid secretion. Omeprazole does not specifically affect carbohydrate digestion. Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that reduces the production of gastric acid, which can help alleviate symptoms and promote healing in acute pancreatitis. Omeprazole's primary action is not to reduce the risk of pancreatic infection; it is primarily used to decrease gastric acid production.
