Answer to Question 1

3
Sitting upright or sleeping with the head of the bed elevated helps keep the stomach contents in the stomach. The meal size should be smaller, and meals should be eaten more often so as not to overfill the stomach.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Common neurological findings with an endocrine disorder include tremors, memory loss, jitteriness, nervousness, and decreased sensation in the hands and feet. Nerve pain is not associated with an endocrine disorder affecting the neurological system.
