A 46-year-old female client presents to the healthcare provider
with the report of a burning sensation in her chest once or twice a
week. The client shares that the sensation usually occurs while she
is lying down at night and lasts approximately 20 minutes. The
client expressed that she has taken calcium carbonate antacid
(TUMS), and it has been effective. The electrocardiogram (ECG)
displays no irregularities. A friend of the client recommended that
the client keep a daily log of what food is consumed and when the
burning sensation occurs, and the client brought the log in for
review.
The nurse is preparing a teaching plan about antacids for the
client.
