I was having this discussion with a friend, but we later agree to to these. Hope this will benefit all nurses student still in school or awaiting to take NCLEX. Is more or less like a study :rckn:group. If you think you have any question you can thread and pple will respond with answer. Just thread in question with no answer to see what you have learn so far.
Absence of bubbling in the water seal compartment indicate what?:thnkg:
AMPHOGEL: Is used to suppress secretion of stomach acid. Must be taken with water and must not be swallowed whole but must be chewed thoroughly before swallowing to prevent it from entering the small intestine. Also must be taken at least an hour prior other medication to prevent adverse effect.
Amphojel is taken for Gastric and duodonel ulcers as well as relief from Gastritis and reflux....It works by reducing the acid concentration and pepsin activity by raising the PH...watch for constipation, Phosphorus and Calcium levels...
