The nurse has completed education about peptic ulcer disease (PUD) with the client. The nurse evaluates that learning has occurred when the client makes which statement?
1. "I will limit my intake of caffeine products."
2. "I will take ibuprofen (Motrin) for my headaches."
3. "I will drink more milk and limit spicy foods."
4. "I will join a gym and increase my exercise."
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Caffeine is a risk factor for peptic ulcer disease (PUD), so limiting caffeine will be beneficial in the treatment of peptic ulcer disease (PUD).
Rationale 2: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) are a primary cause of peptic ulcer disease (PUD).
Rationale 3: Milk can increase acid production and spicy foods are not an issue with peptic ulcer disease (PUD).
Rationale 4: There is no correlation between exercise and the management of peptic ulcer disease (PUD).
