ATI Pharmacology 215 Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

The nurse is caring for a patient with rheumatoid arthritis who is on high doses of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for joint pain relief. The patient expresses concerns about gastric irritation. What medication could the nurse suggest to the physician to alleviate gastric irritation?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Misoprostol. Misoprostol is a prostaglandin E1 analog that helps protect the stomach lining by increasing mucus production and decreasing acid secretion, thus reducing the risk of gastric irritation caused by NSAIDs. Ranitidine (
B) and Esomeprazole (
D) are both acid-reducing medications but do not specifically protect the stomach lining like Misoprostol. Sucralfate (
C) forms a protective barrier over ulcers but is not as effective for general gastric irritation prevention in this case.
