A pregnant client is complaining that the use of famotidine (Pepcid), an H2 blocker, does not eliminate her heartburn. The nurse makes which correct educational statement?
A) "We need to switch the medication. H2 blockers inhibit the pump in the stomach that secretes acid, which blocks all acid secretion"
B) "That is to be expected with famotidine. H2 blockers only reduce acid secretion in the stomach and do not completely suppress it"
C) "You need to stop taking famotidine. H2 blockers are contraindicated in pregnancy"
D) "You may need to take famotidine more frequently when heartburn occurs. H2 blockers neutralize stomach acid"
