R : Long-term use of anti inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) damages the stomach lining and causes ulcers. NSAIDs inhibit the production of an enzyme (cyclooxygenase) that produces prostaglandins which help protect the stomach lining from chemical and physical injury. Which response by the client supports a peptic ulcer? (Select all that apply. One, some, or all options may be correct.) - Answer -The pain sometimes wakes me up at night. My pain seems to be worse several hours after I eat a meal. The pain is so bad that I get nauseated and sometimes I vomit The HCP suspects that the client has a peptic ulcer and schedules her for a Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) breath test. Which intervention should the nurse include? - Answer -Instruct the client not to take any antibiotics for 4 weeks prior to the test. R : Antibiotics and oral bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol) should be withheld for 4 weeks so that they do not interfere with the results of the H. pylori breath test. The client asks the nurse what happens during this test. Which information should the nurse provide? - Answer -A pleasant-tasting solution is ingested and you breathe into a balloon. R : Exhaling into a balloon-like bag is performed first to obtain a baseline sample. Then a small amount of a pleasant lemon-flavored solution is ingested, and 15 minutes later another balloon breath sample is obtained. This sample is tested for an increase in carbon dioxide which indicates a positive H. pylori breath test. Need assistance on Online classes, Exams & Assignments? Reach out for instant help!!
