Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eating five small meals daily instead of three large ones can help reduce heartburn, as it can prevent the stomach from becoming too full and putting pressure on the esophageal sphincter. This can also help the client maintain adequate nutrition during pregnancy. Substituting other calcium sources for milk is not relevant to managing heartburn. Lying down after a meal can worsen heartburn symptoms. Reducing fiber intake is also not relevant to managing heartburn.
