A nurse is providing dietary advice to a patient who has GERD.
Which of the following food choices by the patient would indicate an understanding of the advice?

Choice A rationale

Jello is generally well-tolerated by patients with dumping syndrome. It is not high in sugar or fat, which are the main dietary triggers for dumping syndrome symptoms.
Choice B rationale
Coffee with sugar and a glazed donut are foods that should be avoided by patients with dumping syndrome. These foods are high in simple sugars, which can cause rapid gastric emptying and trigger dumping syndrome symptoms.
Choice C rationale
Eggs and toast are generally well-tolerated by patients with dumping syndrome. These foods are not high in simple sugars or fat, which are the main dietary triggers for dumping syndrome symptoms.
Choice D rationale
Spinach and avocado salad is generally well-tolerated by patients with dumping syndrome. This meal is not high in simple sugars or fat, which are the main dietary triggers for dumping syndrome symptoms.

Choice A rationale
While administering pain medication may provide temporary relief, it does not address the underlying issue of a perforated ulcer, which is a medical emergency.
Choice B rationale

Preparing the client for surgery is the priority action for a nurse when a perforated ulcer is suspected. A perforated ulcer is a medical emergency that often requires immediate surgery.
Choice C rationale
Initiating IV fluid resuscitation may be part of the management for a suspected perforated ulcer, but it is not the first priority. The first priority is to stabilize the patient and prepare for possible surgery.
Choice D rationale
Obtaining a stat abdominal X-ray may help confirm the diagnosis of a perforated ulcer, but it is not the first priority. The first priority is to stabilize the patient and prepare for possible surgery.
