Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a patient who is being treated for peptic ulcer disease. Which medication should the patient be taught to avoid?
Correct Answer: NSAIDs can worsen ulcers by irritating the stomach lining. Antacids, H2 blockers, and PPIs aid ulcer healing.
Rationale: The correct answer is A: NSAIDs. NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen and aspirin, can worsen peptic ulcers by irritating the stomach lining and inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis, which is needed for stomach lining protection. Antacids, H2 blockers, and PPIs, on the other hand, help in ulcer healing by reducing stomach acid production or neutralizing acid.
Therefore, teaching the patient to avoid NSAIDs is crucial to prevent exacerbation of peptic ulcers.
