    This document summarizes a drug study for a 46-year-old male patient who suffered a cerebrovascular accident. The patient was prescribed omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, at a dosage of 1 capsule twice daily via G-tube. Omeprazole reduces gastric acid secretion and strengthens the gastric mucus layer to ease discomfort from excess stomach acid. Potential side effects include dizziness, headache, nausea, and diarrhea. The nurse should monitor the patient's vital signs and symptoms, check fluid intake, and watch for elevated liver enzymes.
