The nurse is teaching the student nurse about the interventions to carry out for the infant who has Gastroesophageal Reflux (GER). What nursing interventions should be mentioned and why?

Respuesta :

Some interventions that should  be mentioned in an infant with GER would be 1. consult with the Pediatrician to obtain an antacid for the infant. 2. Placing the infant in a semi-elevated position according to the AAP. This allows the stomach contents to stay down and not come back up through the esophagus. 3. Feeding the infant less food, more often. This allows for the stomach to not be too full at each feeding.
