A client with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) has been experiencing severe reflux during sleep. Which recommendation by the nurse is most effective to assist the client

Answer 1

I will just say what i would recommend:))

first prescribe proton pump inhibitors and se after a certain amount of time if he feels better if not i would do a esophageal ph test that can diagnose it also lesions and signs of gerd can be seen with endoscope.

So as a doctor antiacids ,proton pump inhibitors and also an option are h2 receptor antagonists . As a nurse recommedations on his diet no coffe smoking juice .
