The nurse is considering administering a medication for the client's concern of diarrhea. Which of the following medications is indicated to decrease diarrhea?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Loperamide (Imodium). Loperamide is an antidiarrheal medication that works by slowing down the movement of the intestines, reducing stool frequency and increasing stool consistency. It is indicated for the treatment of diarrhea. Docusate sodium (
A) is a stool softener used to prevent constipation, not indicated for diarrhea. Sucralfate (
B) is a medication that forms a protective layer over ulcers in the stomach and intestines, not indicated for diarrhea. Omeprazole (
