A patient who has PUD and is receiving magnesium hydroxide (MOM) is experiencing an increased number of BM. Which is the nurse’s priority action?
- A. Ask the HCP for a reduction in dose
- B. Encourage the patient to increase dietary fiber
- C. Administer the drug with an aluminum hydroxide antacid
- D. Instruct patient to keep an accurate stool count
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: MOM is a rapid-acting antacid with a prominent adverse effect of diarrhea. To compensate, it usually is administered in combo with aluminum hydroxide which promotes constipation. A reduction in dose might be necessary if the diarrhea is severe, but this is not a priority action. Increasing dietary fiber and keeping a stool count are appropriate actions to implement after adding an antacid to counteract the diarrhea effect.
