Client teaching related to peptic ulcer disease (PUD) includes lifestyle changes (eg, dietary modifications, stress reduction), PUD complications, and medication administration.
Helicobacter pylori infection and treatment with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are risk factors for complicated PUD. H pylori treatment includes antibiotics and proton-pump inhibitors for acid suppression. The recommended initial treatment is 7-14 days of triple-drug therapy with omeprazole (Prilosec), amoxicillin, and clarithromycin (Biaxin).
(Option 5) Clients with PUD should avoid NSAIDs [eg, aspirin, ibuprofen (Motrin)) as they inhibit prostaglandin synthesis, increase gastric secretion, and reduce the integrity of the mucosal barrier.
Educational objective:
Clients with peptic ulcer disease should avoid NSAIDs, smoking, and excess use of alcohol or caffeine
