    Which snack selected by a school-aged child with gastroesophageal reflux indicates to the nurse that the child understands the dietary restrictions?

    Explanation & Rationale

    The child with gastroesophageal reflux should avoid acidic and spicy foods, as well as high-fat and high- sugar foods. Sugar cookies are a low-fat and low-sugar snack, which indicates that the child understands the dietary restrictions. Choices B, C, and D are high in fat, sugar, or acid and may exacerbate gastroesophageal reflux symptoms.
