A 60-year-old man has scheduled a follow-up appointment with his
primary care provider stating that the omeprazole (Prilosec) which he was
recently prescribed is ineffective. The patient states, “I take it as soon as
I feel heartburn coming on, but it doesn't seem to help at all.” How should
the nurse best respond to this patient's statement?
Response
Feedback:
Optimal efficacy requires that omeprazole is taken daily, not

symptomatic relief does not necessarily indicate that the
drug is ineffective.
