A client asks the nurse why two antibiotics have been prescribed to treat H. pylori. What is the best response by the nurse?

1.   "Two or more antibiotics are given concurrently to increase the effectiveness of therapy and to lower the potential for bacterial resistance."
2.   "One antibiotic is to treat H. pylori and the other is for a secondary infection."
3.   "The acid in your stomach will make one antibiotic ineffective, so you must take two."
4.   "You should only be prescribed one antibiotic to treat H. pylori."
