Question 1 of 5
Which of the following statements by a client with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) indicates adequate understanding?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct statement for a client with GERD is, 'I should sit up after eating.' This helps prevent reflux by keeping the stomach contents down.
Choice A is incorrect as eating right before bedtime can exacerbate GERD symptoms by increasing the likelihood of reflux during the night.
Choice B is incorrect because consuming large meals can lead to increased stomach pressure and worsen reflux symptoms.
Choice D is incorrect because lying flat after eating can promote reflux due to gravity assisting the flow of stomach contents into the esophagus, worsening GERD.
