An older patient with a history of peptic ulcer disease is diagnosed with a vitamin B12 deficiency. How are these two disorders related?
1. Peptic ulcer disease affects absorption of nutrients.
2. Peptic ulcer disease reduces the surface area of the stomach.
3. Medications used to treat peptic ulcer disease affect stomach acid.
4. Medications used to treat peptic ulcer disease block the absorption of vitamins.
3
Rationale: The use of gastric acid-blocking agents may contribute to the development of vitamin B12 deficiency because they block the acid environment needed to break down and release vitamin B12 in ingested food. Peptic ulcer disease does not affect the absorption of nutrients as a cause for the deficiency.
