Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Administering antacids with H2-receptor antagonists will decrease their absorption.
Rationale 2: Administering antacids with antibiotics will decrease their absorption.
Rationale 3: Administering antacids with other oral medications can affect the absorption of the other medications; they should be taken 2 hours before other oral medications.
Rationale 4: There is no need for the client to lay down after taking antacids.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Constipation is a common side effect that does not need to be immediately reported to the physician.
Rationale 2: The client may still experience pain for several days with this type of medication.
Rationale 3: Melana could indicate GI bleeding and should be reported to the physician immediately.
Rationale 4: Taking Tums with an H2-receptor antagonist will cause deceased absorption of the H2-receptor antagonist, but this does not need to be reported to the physician; the nurse should educate the client.
