Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The client's peptic ulcer disease is caused by NSAID use, so avoiding NSAIDs and implementing treatment similar to a client with peptic ulcer disease would be indicated. Antibiotic therapy may be considered if the ulcer is caused by H. pylori infection, but this is not indicated in this scenario. Surgery or insertion of a nasogastric tube for gastric lavage are not indicated for peptic ulcer disease caused by NSAID use.
