Global Rationale: Clients prescribed PPIs should be taught to take the medication 2030 minutes before meals, preferably before breakfast.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Hyperactive bowel sounds indicate increased gastric motility and a possible obstruction if bowel sounds are absent below the level of obstruction.
Rationale 2: Hypoactive bowel sounds do not indicate duodenal ulcers.
Rationale 3: Hematochezia, which is bright red blood per rectum, is not a sign that aluminum hydroxide is working. This symptom should be reported to the health care provider immediately.
Rationale 4: During treatment with aluminum hydroxide, the nurse must assess for bowel changes. Magnesium-based products can cause diarrhea, and those with calcium and aluminum can cause constipation.
Global Rationale: During treatment with aluminum hydroxide, the nurse must assess for bowel changes. Magnesium-based products can cause diarrhea, and those with calcium and aluminum can cause constipation.
Vomiting is not the concern. Hematochezia, which is bright red blood per rectum, is not a sign that aluminum hydroxide is working. This symptom should be reported to the health care provider immediately. Hypoactive bowel sounds do not indicate duodenal ulcers.
