Your answer would be, administering a proton pump inhibitor.


<span>Patients taking glucocorticoids are at high risk for gastric erosion and bleeding because these agents are likely to erode the gastric mucosa during treatment. To avoid this serious complication of therapy, the nurse provides effective preventive care in the form of a proton pump inhibitor. In addition, the nurse should monitor the patient's stool for occult blood and the serum hemoglobin for early detection of gastrointestinal bleeding.



Hope that helps!!!</span>

Name the different types of health and how they are achieved
sergiy2304 [10]

Exercise and physical activity fall into four basic categories—endurance, strength, balance, and flexibility. Most people tend to focus on one activity or type of exercise and think they're doing enough. Each type is different, though. Doing them all will give you more benefits. Mixing it up also helps to reduce boredom and cut your risk of injury.

Though each type is described separately, some activities fit into more than one category. For example, many endurance activities also build strength. Strength exercises also help improve balance.

Endurance- dancing

Strength- Lift weights

Balance-standing on one foot

Flexibility-yoga
