An infant with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is being discharged home. Which of the following is the priority topic the nurse plans to include in the teaching plan?
A.
Managing a multi-medication regime at home
B.
Positioning the infant during feeding and sleeping
C.

ANS: B
GERD is common in infants and is not always treated. Prevention includes maintaining an upright position when feeding and feeding the baby slowly. Medications are not always used, but when given, they consist of proton-pump inhibitor or medication to increase gastric motility. Treatment does not include a multi-drug regimen. Formula type is not related. GERD is an upper gastrointestinal disorder, so surgical correction of the bowel is not indicated.
