A Patient Newly Diagnosed with Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD) Reports

A patient newly diagnosed with peptic ulcer disease (PUD) reports taking low-dose aspirin (ASA) for prevention of cardiovascular disease. The medical history determines that the patient drinks 2 to 3 cups of coffee each day, eats three meals a day, and has a glass of wine with dinner 3 or 4 nights per week. The provider will counsel this patient to what lifestyle action?

A) Change the meal pattern to five or six smaller meals per day.
B) Discontinue taking aspirin, because it can irritate the stomach.
C) Stop drinking wine or any other alcoholic beverage.
D) Switch to a decaffeinated coffee and reduce the number of servings.
