A 6 month old is exhibiting signs of gastroesophageal reflux. A nursing intervention to aid in decreasing pain would be:
1. Elevating the head of the bed 30 degrees.
2. Providing large amounts of formula every three hours.
3. Thinning formula so it decreases occurrences.
4. Keep the baby held upright for an hour after feedings.

Feedback
1. Elevating the head of the bed will help take pressure off of the diaphragm.
2. Small amounts of food decrease the occurrence of gastroesophageal reflux.
3. Thinning formula decreases the calories needed and does not decrease the occurrence of gastroesophageal reflux.
4. Keeping a baby upright for an hour is not a realistic expectation.
