Answer:

D. "Sucralfate has a moderate acid-neutralizing capacity."

Explanation:

Sucralfate is used to treat peptic ulcers in combination with other drugs. It reacts with hydrochloric acid in the stomach and forms a viscous material by mechanism of cross-linking. This material has paste like consistency and forms a protective barrier on ulcers by attaching with the proteins on ulcer surface. The barrier does not allow further harm due to action of acid on ulcer. It also does not allow the diffusion of hydrogen ions back into stomach cells. But it is not involved in neutralizing the acid and increasing the pH of stomach. It can show minor antacid activity but that it not considered clinically significant.

Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a condition that is experienced by someone who has undergone some sort of trauma. The trauma could be something that they have witnessed or experienced themselves, like natural disasters, war, or a serious accident.

Although not all people come out of a traumatic event with PTSD, those who do are those who are not able to or having difficulty with coping and adjusting to life after the trauma.

Symptoms and intensity of the symptoms vary depending on the trauma they experienced and the general mental health of the person. Some of the most common ones would be avoidance, anxiety, night terrors, and the like.
