A patient has been educated on preventative measures for gastroesophageal reflux disease. Which statement by the patient suggests that the teaching has been successful?

Choice A rationale
Development of gastric ulcers is not a common complication of an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) procedure. Gastric ulcers are typically caused by factors such as Helicobacter pylori infection or long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), not by the EGD procedure itself.
Choice B rationale
Perforation of the esophagus, stomach, or duodenum is a potential complication of an EGD procedure. During an EGD, a flexible tube with a camera is inserted through the mouth and down into the gastrointestinal tract. If the tube accidentally punctures or tears the lining of the esophagus, stomach, or duodenum, it can cause a perforation. This is a serious complication that requires immediate medical attention.
Choice C rationale
While allergic reactions to the sedation medication used during an EGD procedure can occur, they are not a direct complication of the EGD procedure itself. Allergic reactions would be related to the specific medication used for sedation and not the procedure.
Choice D rationale
Infection at the site of the procedure is not a common complication of an EGD. The procedure is performed using aseptic technique to minimize the risk of infection.

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.
