Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. This statement is incorrect because omeprazole is not an antibiotic and does not kill bacteria; it is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces acid production.

B. This statement is incorrect; omeprazole does not neutralize stomach acid, but rather decreases its production.

C. This statement is also incorrect; omeprazole does not coat the stomach lining; it works by inhibiting the proton pumps in the stomach lining to reduce acid secretion.

D. This statement is correct; omeprazole reduces stomach acid production, which is beneficial for managing GERD symptoms.

Correct Answer is ["100"]

Explanation

Infusion rate (mL/hr) = Volume to be infused (mL) / Time (hr)

In this case:

Volume to be infused = 100 mL
Time = 1 hour

Plugging the values into the formula:

Infusion rate = 100 mL / 1 hour = 100 mL/hr
