multiple choice - single answer
to answer this item, cha a single answer.

Explanation:

Esomeprazole (a proton - pump inhibitor) may interact with medications used for deep vein thrombosis (DVT), like anticoagulants. A history of DVT means the client may be on such meds, so this needs to be reported. Eating spicy food and drinking alcohol are lifestyle factors, and family history of diabetes is not directly related to esomeprazole administration.

Answer:

B. History of deep vein thrombosis.
