Question 2
A patient has been prescribed omeprazole by her primary care provider.
When questioned by the nurse about her perceived effectiveness of the drug, the patient states, I think it's working quite well, and I've gotten in the routine of taking it every morning before breakfast. How should the nurse respond? A) That's good, but remember that you shouldn't take it on days when you're not having any symptoms.
B) I'm glad it's working for you, but you'll probably find it works even better if you take it after eating.
C) That's great. If you find later that it's not working as well, you might want to try taking it at bedtime.
D) I'm glad to hear that. It sounds like you're taking it exactly like it should be taken.
