Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Aluminum hydroxide antacids neutralize gastric acid. Overuse of antacids may cause metabolic acidosis. Omeprazole, ranitidine, and metoclopramide are all GERD medications that do not cause metabolic alkalosis.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

Positioning the infant upright for 30 minutes after a feeding can reduce GERD symptoms. Infants with GERD should be burped after every 1-2 ounces of formula are taken. Pre-thickened formulas can also reduce GERD symptoms. Warming the formula does not impact GERD symptoms.
B) Positioning the infant upright for 30 minutes after a feeding can reduce GERD symptoms. Infants with GERD should be burped after every 1-2 ounces of formula are taken. Pre-thickened formulas can also reduce GERD symptoms. Warming the formula does not impact GERD symptoms.
