Clinical Case:
Mrs. G. is a 45-year-old female arrives at the emergency
department where you are working with complaints of burning pain in
her chest and throat and a sour taste in her mouth. She states this
pain has been going on for years after she eats certain foods. She
has a large, extended family and does all of the cooking. She is
Hispanic and likes to cook her special recipes because she believes
that "these foods are good for herself and her family." She is very
proud of her cooking and believes that is one of her main
contributions to her family. She has never been sick and does not
like to take pills.
She is examined by the emergency room doctor and diagnosed with
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). The doctor has ordered
medication for you to administer. These medications include a
proton pump inhibitor (Prilosec), and a Histamine 2 blocker
(Pepcid). He also prescribes the proton pump inhibitor to be taken
at home for the next two weeks. Mrs. G. starts to feel better and
is ready for discharge. You will be providing the client teaching
and discharge instructions about GERD.
In your discussion about GERD include:
Dietary suggestions you would make
What foods and liquids she should avoid
What changes she should make
Barriers she will face in making these changes and how they can be
overcome
Include APA formatted references if used.
Please add references. Thanks
