During a patient teaching session, the nurse explains the mechanism of action of simethicone by saying: a )“It neutralizes gastric pH, thereby preventing gas.”b )“It buffers the effects of pepsin on the gastric wall.”c )“It decreases gastric acid secretion and thereby minimizes flatus.”d )“It causes mucus-coated gas bubbles to break into smaller ones.”
