The nurse explains to a patient with pancreatitis that the drug Pancrease (lipase, protease, amylase), a pancreatic enzyme, should be:
1.   taken before meals.
2.   sprinkled on warm food.
3.   mixed with juice.
4.   taken 1 hour after eating.


This is for my medical nursing class

Pancreatic enzyme medication takes the place of enzymes missing from the damaged pancreas. The drug should be mixed with juice or applesauce or sprinkled on cold food, but should not be chewed, because it will irritate the mouth and lips.
