Practice Question
Which interventions should the nurse implement for a patient with acute gastritis? Select all that apply.
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Explain that aspirin frequently causes gastritis.
Rationale:
💎 Aspirin explanation: Aspirin irritates the gastric mucosa by inhibiting prostaglandins, leading to inflammation and ulceration.
💎 Sucralfate: Forms a protective coating over the gastric lining, shielding mucosa from acid and pepsin.
💎 Antacids/H2 blockers: Neutralize or reduce acid secretion, relieving symptoms and promoting healing.
💎 Diet modification: Regular diet is avoided during the acute phase to prevent worsening irritation.
💎 Observation: Monitoring for GI bleeding and avoiding gastric irritants (NSAIDs, alcohol) are essential parts of management.
