Answer to Question 1

B, C, D, E
The patient should understand the importance of using condoms to protect her partner and taking the entire course of antibiotics to prevent resistance or relapse. The patient should also under-stand that chlamydia increases the risk of developing PID or an ectopic pregnancy. The patient's partner should receive treatment as well.

Answer to Question 2

A
Hiatal hernia is diagnosed by an upper gastrointestinal (GI) series. Nutritional modification indi-cated in patients with hiatal hernias includes limiting intake of alcohol, chocolate, caffeine, and fatty food. Other treatment includes weight reduction, avoidance of tight-fitting clothes around the abdomen, administration of antacids, histamine (H2)-receptor antagonists, or proton pump inhibitors, and elevation of the head of the bed on 6- to 8-inch blocks. The patient is instructed not to eat within 3 hours of going to bed.
