In addition to treating duodenal ulcer disease, lansoprazole and omeprazole also are approved in the treatment of:
 
  a. H. pylori infections c. inflammatory bowel disease
  b. E. coli infections d. irritable bowel syndrome

Question 2

An elderly client receiving eszopiclone asked the nurse why he only takes 2 mg of the drug, while his son takes 4 mg. The nurse's best response is:
 
  a. You are prescribed the lower dose, because at your age you do not process and eliminate drugs the same as your son.
  b. You should ask your doctor for an increased dose, explaining that your son takes a higher dose.
  c. Because this drug affects what we call REM sleep, older clients should not receive more than 2 mg of this drug.
  d. I don't know why your son would be prescribed such a high dose of this drug, but I will check with your doctor about it.
