The nurse is caring for a patient with peptic ulcer disease (PUD). Which patient statement requires nursing teaching? "When I eat out, I avoid spicy foods." "I sit up for at least an hour after I eat my meals." "My doctor said to take ibuprofen for my aches and pain." "After I quit work, my stress level decreased substantially."

The statement that requires nursing teaching is My doctor said to take ibuprofen for my aches and pain

Explanation:

Ibuprofen is a Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) that worsens peptic ulcer disease (PUD). Since the doctor had already prescribed it for the patient, the required nursing teaching would be to take the medication on a full stomach as it may improve tolerability. The patient should also avoid peppery foods and sitting up immediately after eating. This will help reduce the aches and pains caused by the disease.
