Question 1 of 5
The nurse is administering sucralfate to a client with stomatitis secondary to chemotherapy. The client wants to take the medication after breakfast. How should the nurse respond?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Sucralfate forms a protective barrier over irritated stomach and intestinal areas, requiring an empty stomach for optimal effectiveness. Taking it at least 1 hour before meals ensures proper coating without food interference. Post-meal administration reduces efficacy, and documenting refusal is inappropriate without education.
