Answer to Question 1

A
Untreated GERD may lead to esophagitis, inflammation of the lower esophagus, because sto-mach acid irritates the esophageal mucosa. Hiatal hernia may cause GERD, but not the reverse. Peptic ulcer disease and dumping syndrome are not related to GERD.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Adding butter or margarine to hot foods is one way to add calories to the daily diet. The other choices will add protein to the diet.
