مريضة بالارتجاع المريئي. أي سلوك يدل على أنها فهمت التعليم؟

A client has GERD. Which behaviour shows she understood the teaching?

1. Drinking peppermint tea after dinner to settle the stomach
2. Eating dinner three hours before bed and raising the head of the bed
3. Lying flat on her back right after meals to rest
4. Eating two large meals instead of several small ones

Answer: B) Eating dinner three hours before bed and raising the head of the bed. Reflux decreases with a 3-hour gap before lying down, head elevation, small meals, and avoiding peppermint, coffee, fat and smoking, which relax the lower oesophageal sphincter.
