Question 1 of 5
The nurse is preparing a client presentation regarding pancrelipase (Viokase) therapy. Which information would the nurse include in the teaching session?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Pancrelipase is an enzyme replacement therapy used to aid in the digestion of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates, and its use may lead to steatorrhea (fatty stools) as a common side effect. Pancrelipase is typically administered with meals or snacks to aid in digestion; there is no need to administer it prior to antacids. Pancrelipase is taken with meals or snacks to assist in digestion, so this statement is incorrect. There is no need to rinse the mouth after taking pancrelipase; it is a medication designed for oral ingestion.
