Practice Question
A nurse is teaching a client who has gastroesophageal reflux disease about how her diet can help reduce her discomfort. Which of the following foods should the nurse tell the client to avoid?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Tomatoes
Rationale:
🔷 Tomatoes are acidic and can worsen GERD symptoms by irritating the esophageal lining and lowering the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) tone.
🔷 Acidic and spicy foods (tomatoes, citrus, coffee, chocolate, fatty foods) should be avoided.
🔷 Apples, bananas, and potatoes are generally safe and not strongly acidic.
🔷 Dietary education is central to non-pharmacologic GERD management.
🔷 Patients should also eat smaller meals and avoid lying down after eating.
