You are a nurse in an internist’s office and take the history of a middle-aged man with complaint of heartburn. He tells you that he especially has problems when he eats tomatoes, onions, and citrus fruits or juice. For the past month he has been taking over-the-counter Tagamet or Prilosec, and finds that Prilosec is best. Describe the pathophysiology of GERD. What are some contributing factors to the development of GERD? What other assessment data should you collect from this client and why? What diagnostic testing might he have to confirm a diagnosis of GERD? How would you explain this procedure to the patient? If the client is diagnosed with GERD, what health teaching does this client need? What are the major clinical manifestations of GERD and how are they treated?
