Answer: A) PPIs suppress acid more strongly and for a longer time.

Explanation:

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is defined as a disease of digestive system in which stomach acid comes up into the esophagus for long-term and causes irritation in the esophagus.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) can be treated by using anatcid (Histamine type-2 receptor antagonist- H2RA) and proton pump inhibitor (PPI).

Both medications work in same manner by decreasing and blocking the production of stomach acid. but antacid works for a short time period while PPI is effective for long time and has stronger effect.

In this case also anatcid is non-effective for the reflux and provider prescribe PPIs which has stronger ability to suppress stomach acid for longer time.

The correct option is A.

Identify and discuss several possible emotional reactions of parents whose children have disabilities.
MatroZZZ [7]
Wow this is a very loaded question. These reactions range typically based on if A) the parent is okay with having a disabled child and of course B) how the doctor reacts and tells the parents to be. It is still a very common thing for doctors to advise to abort a child with disabilities and depending on how a parent takes this a range of emotions could appear like anger, sadness, shock, etc. and the wanting of a disabled child or not can result in the same emotions. I hope this helps!
