A) How to eat nutritiously
B) The correct use of medications to relieve acute gastritis
C) How to position themselves to relieve pain
D) Avoiding irritating foods and beverages
Ans: D
Feedback: Measures to help relieve pain include instructing the patient to avoid foods and beverages that may be irritating to the gastric mucosa and instructing the patient about the correct use of medications to relieve chronic gastritis. Education for chronic gastritis does not routinely include how to eat nutritiously or positioning themselves to relieve pain. Since the patient has chronic gastritis, option B is incorrect.
