Title: The patient with a hiatal hernia should have a teaching plan to help with the re Post by: nurse2mrow on Sep 16, 2014 The patient with a hiatal hernia should have a teaching plan to help with the reduction of the complaints of heartburn, regurgitation, and eructation. This would include instruction about:
1. eating three well-balanced meals. 2. lying down 1 hour after eating. 3. sleeping without pillows. 4. eating nothing for several hours prior to bedtime. This is for my medical nursing class Title: Re: The patient with a hiatal hernia should have a teaching plan to help with the re Post by: Aki on Sep 27, 2014 4
Eating just prior to bedtime encourages reflux into the hernia and possible aspiration Title: Re: The patient with a hiatal hernia should have a teaching plan to help with the re Post by: nurse2mrow on Sep 28, 2014 Thanks for assisting me on this ;D
