A)Appropriate client outcomes are freedom from pain and knowledge of lifestyle changes to manage GERD. Weight loss, small, frequent meals, and avoiding lying down within 3 hours of eating indicate correct management. Tight-fitting clothing such as spandex camisoles can worsen GERD, regardless of whether the client feels comfortable wearing them. Changing from margaritas to wine will not improve GERD. Antacids such as Tums should be avoided within 1 hour before or after an H?-receptor blocker like ranitidine.
