Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Fiber does not promote acid production so it would be a safe food for patients to eat to avoid stimulating more acid in the stomach. Acid production in the stomach is stimulated by gastrin which increases in the presence of protein, calcium, caffeine, or alcohol in the stomach.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D
Feedback:
The nurse needs to specifically question the patient's use of over-the-counter drugs, herbal supplements, natural supplements, and vitamins. Use of terms like alternative therapies or unusual therapies is too vague and may not elicit the kind of information needed.
