A nurse is caring for four clients who have peptic ulcer disease.The nurse should recognize that misoprostol is contraindicated for which of the following clients?

Choice A rationaleMisoprostol is indicated to prevent NSAID-induced gastric ulcers due to its cytoprotective properties. It increases mucus and bicarbonate production, protecting the stomach lining without contraindications for long-term NSAID therapy.Choice B rationaleMisoprostol is contraindicated in pregnancy due to its uterotonic effects, which can cause uterine contractions and potentially lead to miscarriage or preterm labor, posing significant risks to the fetus and pregnancy.Choice C rationaleMisoprostol is used for gastrointestinal protection and is not contraindicated for clients with a GI bleed. It can aid in preventing further mucosal damage and promoting healing in the gastrointestinal tract.Choice D rationaleMisoprostol can cause diarrhea as a side effect but is not contraindicated. Management of diarrhea involves supportive care and dose adjustment rather than discontinuation of the medication unless symptoms are severe.
