NGN Case Study: GI (Patient 1) With Complete Solutions
Raise pH with acid-neutralizing effect - histamine and prevent acid production. Older
ANSWERS - Antacids adults taking H2 blockers should be monitored
because certain H2 medications can cause
disorientation.

Inhibits histamine to prevent acid production -
ANSWERS - H2 Blockers
Work in stomach lumen - ANSWERS -
Antacids
Must monitor orientation levels of older adults -
ANSWERS - H2 Blockers
Side effects are constipation and diarrhea -
ANSWERS - Antacids
Often used for reflux - ANSWERS -
Antacids
H2 Blockers
Rationale: - ANSWERS - Antacids are a
medication often used for heartburn (reflux) and
are available OTC. Antacids work by raising the
pH level in the stomach lumen to neutralize the
acid effects. They have a very short duration of
30-60 minutes and often cause constipation or
diarrhea depending on the specific antacid.
Antacids may decrease the effectiveness of
quinolone antibiotics if taken at the same time
and need to be taken at intervals to avoid client
harm. Similarly, H2 blockers are often found OTC
and are used to treat reflux, however, typically a
more severe reflux. H2 blockers work in the
parietal cells in the lining of the stomach to inhibit
