The nurse is administering several medications to an infant with neurologic impairment and delay. The medication that is a proton pump inhibitor administered for gastroesophageal reflux is
1. omeprazole (Prilosec).
2. ranitidine (Zantac).
3. phenytoin (Dilantin).
4. glycopyrrolate (Robinul).
Answer:1
Rationale:Omeprazole (Prilosec) is the proton pump inhibitor that blocks the action of acid-producing cells and is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux. Ranitidine (Zantac) causes the stomach to produce less acid and may be used to treat gastroesophageal reflux,but it is a histamine-2 receptor blocker.Phenytoin
(Dilantin) is an anticonvulsant used to treat seizures,and glycopyrrolate (Robinul) is an anticholinergic agent used to inhibit excessive salivation.
