Rationales for Correct Choices Not take the antacid within 30 min of the sucralfate: Antacids can interfere with the absorption and adherence of sucralfate to the gastric mucosa. Spacing administration by at least 30 minutes ensures optimal therapeutic action of both medications. Shake the suspension thoroughly before administration: Sucralfate is a suspension, meaning its medication particles are dispersed in a liquid. To ensure the client receives the correct, full dose and therapeutic effect, the medication must be shaken well immediately before measuring and administering. Rationale for Incorrect Choices: Discontinue the sucralfate as soon as ulcer manifestations subside: Stopping sucralfate too early can prevent complete healing of the ulcer. Full courses should be completed as prescribed. Take the sucralfate with meals: Sucralfate should be taken on an empty stomach (at least 1 hour before meals and at bedtime) to allow it to form the protective barrier on the ulcer before food and acid production increase.
