A nurse is preparing to administer 0. 9% sodium chloride IV infusion 1000 mL bag at a rate of 200 mL/hr for a client who has rhabdomyolysis The nurse should expect the IV pump to infuse over how many hr?

(Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. not use a trailing zero.)

A) Take as needed for pain relief.
Sucralfate is not used as an as-needed medication for pain relief. It is a gastroprotective medication that is typically taken regularly as prescribed, regardless of whether the client is experiencing pain.

B) Take the medication 1 hr before meals.
Sucralfate is a medication commonly used to treat peptic ulcer disease by forming a protective barrier over the ulcer, promoting healing and symptom relief. It should be taken on an empty stomach, at least 1 hour before meals, and at bedtime to maximize its effectiveness. Taking sucralfate before meals ensures that the medication can coat the ulcer and provide protection against gastric acid during digestion.

C) Store the medication in the refrigerator.
Sucralfate does not need to be stored in the refrigerator. It should be stored at room temperature away from moisture and heat, according to the manufacturer's instructions.

D) Take the medication with an antacid.
Sucralfate should not be taken with antacids because antacids can interfere with its effectiveness. Antacids can decrease the absorption of sucralfate, so it is important to separate the administration of sucralfate from antacids by at least 30 minutes to 1 hour.

A) Treatment with PPIs to decrease stomach acid:
Pancreatic insufficiency is not primarily related to excess stomach acid production, so treatment with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) to decrease stomach acid would not address the underlying cause of the condition.

B) Treatment with stimulant laxatives:
Pancreatic insufficiency is not typically associated with constipation or the need for stimulant laxatives. While malabsorption of fats due to pancreatic insufficiency can lead to loose stools or diarrhea, treatment with laxatives is not indicated for this condition.

C) Replacement therapy with pancreatic enzymes.
Pancreatic insufficiency occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough digestive enzymes to properly digest food, leading to malabsorption of nutrients. Replacement therapy with pancreatic enzymes is the mainstay of treatment for pancreatic insufficiency. These pancreatic enzyme supplements help to replace the deficient enzymes, aiding in the digestion and absorption of nutrients from food. By taking pancreatic enzyme supplements with meals, the client can improve digestion and prevent nutritional deficiencies associated with pancreatic insufficiency.

D) Decrease food intake:
Decreasing food intake would not address the underlying cause of pancreatic insufficiency, which is the deficiency of pancreatic enzymes needed for proper digestion. In fact, decreasing food intake could exacerbate malnutrition and nutrient deficiencies in individuals with pancreatic insufficiency. The primary goal of treatment is to improve digestion and nutrient absorption by providing supplemental pancreatic enzymes with meals.
