A nurse is reinforcing teaching to a client about the risk factors for GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). Which of the following statements should the nurse include?

A. "It is okay to take aspirin with GERD.": Aspirin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that can irritate the gastric lining and worsen GERD symptoms. B. "There is no causal link between lying down after eating and increased onset of GERD.": Lying down after eating is a known trigger for reflux due to gravity loss. C. "You should avoid or cut down on alcohol and caffeine which can aggravate GERD.": Both alcohol and caffeine relax the lower esophageal sphincter, promoting reflux and worsening GERD. D. "You should avoid possible mercury-containing foods such as some seafood because of their risk to GERD.": Mercury content is a toxicological concern, not related to GERD symptoms.
