Which statement made by the client indicates to the nurse the client may be experiencing GERD?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Frequent use of antacids suggests ongoing heartburn or reflux symptoms, a hallmark of GERD. Chest pain with exertion is more suggestive of cardiac issues, snoring may indicate sleep apnea, and soft drink consumption is a risk factor but not a direct symptom.
