    The nurse is instructing a patient recently diagnosed with GERD. Which statement by the patient indicates a need for further teaching?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. "I will avoid foods high in fat." - This is a correct statement. High-fat foods can contribute to the symptoms of GERD. B. "I will eat small frequent meals and have a snack at bedtime." - This is a correct statement. Eating smaller, more frequent meals and avoiding large meals before bedtime can help manage GERD symptoms. C. "Orange juice may aggravate my symptoms." - This is a correct statement. Citrus juices, including orange juice, are acidic and can worsen GERD symptoms. D. "I will wait 2 hours after eating lunch before lying down for a nap." - This is a correct statement. Waiting a few hours after eating before lying down can help prevent stomach contents from refluxing into the esophagus.
