Which signs and symptoms would the nurse expect to find in the history of a patient that is going for a Nissen Fundoplication surgery?
Correct answer
D
Rationale
Nausea and belching are not primary indications for Nissen Fundoplication; weight gain is unrelated. Reflux is relevant, but flatulence and cough are less specific. Epigastric pain, hoarseness, and diarrhea are not primary symptoms. Heartburn, reflux, and chest pain are classic GERD symptoms prompting surgery.
