Question

A nurse is reviewing the medication administration record of a client who has hypocalcemia and a new prescription for IV calcium gluconate. The nurse should identify that which of the following medications can interact with calcium gluconate?

A) Furosemide.
B) Ciprofloxacin.
C) Acetaminophen.
D) Omeprazole.

Answer 1

Omeprazole can interact with calcium gluconate.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nurse should identify that omeprazole can interact with calcium gluconate. Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces stomach acid production. It can decrease the absorption of calcium, potentially reducing the effectiveness of calcium gluconate.
