Reduce the secretion of pancreatic enzymes

Placing the client on strict npo status will stop the inflammatory process by reducing the secretion of pancreatic enzymes. The use of low, intermittent suction prevents release of secretion in the duodenum. Decreasing the client's need for insulin is incorrect because the client requires exogenous insulin. Preventing secretion of gastric acid is incorrect because it does not prevent the secretion of gastric acid. Eliminating the need for analgesia is incorrect because it does not eliminate the need for analgesia.
