awakens him. Which assessment question should the nurse ask?
1. "How much weight have you gained recently?"
2. "What have you done to alleviate the heartburn?"
3. "Do you consume many milk and dairy products?"
4. "Have you been around anyone with a stomach virus?"
ANSWER: 2. Most clients with GERD have been selfmedicating
with over-the-counter medications
prior to seeking advice from a
health-care provider. It is important to
know what the client has been using to
treat the problem.
The nurse caring for a client diagnosed with GERD writes the client problem of
"behavior modification." Which intervention should be included for this problem?
1. Teach the client to sleep with a foam wedge under the head.
2. Encourage the client to decrease the amount of smoking.
3. Instruct the client to take over-the-counter medication for relief of pain.
4. Discuss the need to attend Alcoholics Anonymous to quit drinking.
1. The client should elevate the head of
the bed on blocks or use a foam wedge
to use gravity to help keep the gastric
acid in the stomach and prevent reflux
into the esophagus. Behavior modification
is changing one's behavior.
The nurse is preparing a client diagnosed with GERD for discharge following an
esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Which statement indicates the client
understands the

3. "The stomach contents won't bother my esophagus but will make me
nauseous."
4. "I should avoid orange juice and eating tomatoes until my esophagus heals."

should avoid acidic foods until the
esophagus has had a chance to heal.
