Practice Question

A nurse is reinforcing dietary teaching with a client who has GERD. Which of the following food choices by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

Baked turkey breast

Rationale:

🟢 GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) requires avoiding foods that relax the lower esophageal sphincter or increase gastric acid production.

🟢 Baked turkey breast is a lean protein that is low in fat and non-acidic, making it ideal for preventing reflux symptoms.

🟢 Foods like lemon pepper fish and spaghetti with red sauce are acidic and can worsen heartburn.

🟢 Corned beef brisket is high in fat and salt, which can delay gastric emptying and trigger reflux.

🟢 Choosing baked, non-spicy, and low-fat options helps minimize irritation of the esophagus.
