Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Smoking should be discouraged, because it slows the rate of healing and increases the frequency of relapses. Diet therapy for peptic ulcer disease includes having the patient eat several small meals per day and avoid foods that produce symptoms, rather than prescribing a particular diet such as a bland diet. There is no need to avoid eating breakfast or have the largest meal of the day at lunchtime.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
In most cases, nausea and vomiting are self-limiting and require no treatment. Dry food such as soda crackers may reduce nausea and promote comfort. Discontinuing the medication will stop the desired action for which the medication has been prescribed. Taking no action does not meet the needs of the patient. Taking medication with a heavy meal may increase the nausea.
