The nurse is reviewing the prescriptions for a newly admitted client. The nurse sees a prescription for intravenous pantoprazole but does not see any gastrointestinal conditions in the medical record. How should the nurse interpret this prescription?

1. It is used as a prophylactic measure.
2.	It is inaccurate and should be questioned.
3.	It is likely that the client has a new gastrointestinal disorder.
