Question 1 of 5

The nurse is teaching a patient who will be taking a proton pump inhibitor as long-term therapy about potential side effects. Which statement should the nurse include in the education to the patient?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Long-term use may contribute to osteoporosis. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) can decrease calcium absorption, leading to an increased risk of osteoporosis. PPIs suppress stomach acid production, which is essential for calcium absorption.
Therefore, long-term PPI use can contribute to a decrease in bone density and increase the risk of fractures.

Other choices are incorrect because:
A: Long-term use of PPIs does not lead to hypermagnesemia. PPIs can actually decrease magnesium absorption.
C: While diarrhea can be a side effect of PPIs, it is not a common or significant long-term effect.
D: PPIs do not cause drowsiness. They are generally well-tolerated with minimal side effects when used appropriately.
