A client was placed on ranitidine (Zantac) 2 days ago, and continues to complain of ulcer pain. What is the best response by the nurse?
 
  1. We'll switch you to a different medication.
  2. You probably have something else besides an ulcer.
  3. You might not notice relief for several weeks.
  4. You should be taking the medication with food.

Rationale 1:We'll switch you to a different medication is incorrect because switching to a different medication would be premature at this point.
Rationale 2:You probably have something else besides an ulcer is incorrect because diagnosing another condition is outside the scope of nursing practice.
Rationale 3: Patients should be advised that it can take several weeks for adequate healing of an ulcer and for pain to dissipate.
Rationale 4:You should be taking the medication with food is incorrect because the medication can be taken with or without food.

Global Rationale: Patients should be advised that it can take several weeks of therapy before they gain relief from ulcer pain. Beneficial effects last 35 days after therapy is stopped.
