Question 2
A 60-year-old man has scheduled a follow-up appointment with his primary care provider stating that the omeprazole (Prilosec) which he was recently prescribed is ineffective.
The patient states, I take it as soon as I feel heartburn coming on, but it doesn't seem to help at all. How should the nurse best respond to this patient's statement?
A) It could be that Prilosec isn't the right drug for you, so it would be best to talk this over with your care provider.
B) Prilosec won't really decrease the sensation of heartburn, but it is still minimizing the damage to your throat and stomach that can be caused by the problem.
C) Prilosec will help your heartburn but it's not designed to provide immediate relief of specific episodes of heartburn.
D) A better strategy is to take a dose of Prilosec 15 to 30 minutes before meals or drinks that cause you to get heartburn.
