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. Although the client knows tight-fitting spandex camisoles can worsen GERD, she is not willing to stop wearing them. Changing from margaritas to wine will not improve GERD. Antacids like TUMS should be avoided within 1 hour before or after an H2-receptor blocker like ranitidine.
