Question 1 of 5

A male client with a history of heart failure (HF) complains of heartburn when he lies down after dinner. The home health nurse should encourage the client to talk to the healthcare provider about using which over-the-counter medication to relieve this problem?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Heartburn suggests gastroesophageal reflux disease (GER
D), common in heart failure. Low sodium antacids neutralize stomach acid without exacerbating fluid retention, unlike high-sodium options. Diphenhydramine, aspirin, and acetaminophen do not relieve heartburn and are inappropriate for GERD.
