A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a parent of an infant who has gastroesophageal reflux. Which of the following statements by the parent indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
"I will keep my baby in an upright position after feeding."
Rationale:
🧸 Positioning the infant upright for 20–30 minutes after feeding helps reduce reflux episodes in infants with GER.
🧸 Upright posture uses gravity to prevent stomach contents from flowing back into the esophagus.
🧸 Breastfeeding is encouraged, and thickening of formula is only done under provider guidance.
🧸 Side-lying is not safe for sleep; supine is the safest position per SIDS guidelines.
