Question

A client with a seizure disorder is on phenytoin. the client has also been diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux disease (gerd) and has been prescribed an antacid. what should the health care practitioner share with this client regarding these medications

Answer 1

Hello, Jernardduncan5883!! The heath care practitioner should tell the client to separate the dosing of the medications by at least 2 hours or more to prevent digestive problems. Since he has GERD, he has to watch out for problems in his stomach/esophagus. I hope this helped!! Have a great night.
