Practice Question

A nurse is teaching a class about complications associated with obesity. Which of the following disorders should the nurse include in the teaching?

Answer Choices:

A. Diabetes insipidus

B. Gastroesophageal reflux disease ✓ Correct Answer

C. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

D. Rheumatoid arthritis

Correct Answer:

Gastroesophageal reflux disease

Rationale:

🔵 Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common complication associated with obesity. Excess weight, especially abdominal fat, increases intra-abdominal pressure, which can lead to the relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter and allow stomach acid to flow back into the esophagus. This results in symptoms like heartburn, regurgitation, and chest pain, all characteristic of GERD.

🔵 Obesity is a well-established risk factor for GERD, as it can also contribute to esophageal inflammation and increase the likelihood of esophageal ulcers or even Barrett's esophagus, a condition that can increase the risk of esophageal cancer.

🔵 Diabetes insipidus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and rheumatoid arthritis are not directly caused by obesity, although obesity may exacerbate some of these conditions. However, they are not specifically classified as complications of obesity like GERD is.
