The nurse is administering several medications to an infant with neurologic impairment and delay. The medication that utilizes a proton pump inhibitor administered for gastroesophageal reflux is:
1. Omeprazole (Prilosec).
2. Ranitidine (Zantac).
3. Phenytoin (Dilantin).
4. Glycopyrrolate (Robinul).
1
Rationale:
1. Omeprazole (Prilosec) utilizes a proton pump inhibitor that blocks the action of acid-producing cells and is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux.
2. 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.
3. Phenytoin (Dilantin) is an anticonvulsant used to treat seizures.
4. Glycopyrrolate (Robinul) is an anticholinergic agent used to inhibit excessive salivation.
