Answer to Question 1

A
Gastritis, inflammation of the stomach mucosa, can occur as the result of exposure to medications, smoking, food allergens, or toxic chemicals or from impaired mucosal defenses. Medical management of the client who has gastritis primarily involves prescription of antacids and histamine receptor antagonists. Nursing care focuses on relieving pain and teaching the client to avoid substances that aggravate gastric irritation and to minimize consumption of foods such as milk, coffee, and cola beverages that increase gastric acid secretions and to avoid eating before lying down or at bedtime.

Answer to Question 2

A
It is extremely important to never touch the client during a flashback, as the client may perceive you as dangerous and react as if you are trying to inflict harm. Talk to the client in a soft, calm voice, and gently let the client know who you are, where he or she is, and what is happening.
