مريض بدأ أوميبرازول لعلاج القرحة. ما أفضل توقيت لأخذه؟

A client starts omeprazole for an ulcer. When is the best time to take it?

1. About 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast
2. Only when heartburn occurs, as needed
3. With any meal at whatever time suits the client
4. Right after dinner with a glass of warm milk

Answer: A) About 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast. Proton pump inhibitors work best taken 30–60 minutes before the first meal, because the pumps activate with eating.
