Respuesta :
The client receives h2-receptor antagonists for the treatment of peptic ulcer disease (pud), if the client reports episodes of melena requires immediate follow-up. The correct option to this question is 3.
There is a propensity to believe that because H2-receptor antagonists have successfully treated primary gastric and duodenal ulcers, they will be equally effective when used as preventative medicines.
They are ineffective in guarding against stomach damage when used to prevent gastroduodenal ulcers brought on by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, although they lower the incidence of duodenal ulceration.
There is evidence that H2-receptor antagonists have a positive effect in the prevention of stress ulceration and bleeding in intensive care units, although other medications are also similarly effective. There is scant proof that H2-receptor antagonists lower mortality or transfusion or surgical intervention rates in patients who initially arrive with haematemesis and melaena.
