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
