Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) nursing NCLEX lecture on the symptoms, GERD diet, nursing interventions, and treatment. GERD is a chronic condition where stomach contents is flowing back up into the esophagus.
What causes gastroesophageal reflux disease? GERD is mainly due to a weak or damaged lower esophageal sphincter. The LES is a collection of circular muscles at the end of the esophagus that closes and prevent toxic acids and GI contents from flowing back into the esophagus once it enters the stomach.
What causes the LES to become weak? Many things such as pressure on the LES from pregnancy, obesity, hiatal hernia, or overeating along with medications such as antihistamines, calcium channel blockers, sedatives, and even smoking. In addition, GERD can be caused by delayed gastric emptying or impaired motility of the esophagus.
Signs and symptoms of GERD include: heartburn, regurgitation (bitter taste in the mouth), dry chronic cough especially at night, upper GI pain, voice changes, nausea, problems swallowing etc.
Complications of gastroesophageal reflux disease include: narrowing of the esophagus (strictures), Barret's esophagus, bleeding, increased risk of esophageal cancer, aspiration, lungs infections, and ear infections.
What is the treatment for GERD? It is treated with lifestyle changes (smoking cessation, weight loss, diet changes etc.), medications, and in the worst cases surgery (fundoplication).
How is gastroesophageal reflux disease diagnosed? An endoscopy is performed to assess the esophagus for changes such as erosion or strictures etc. Esophageal manometry assesses the function of the esophagus' ability to squeeze food down into the stomach and how the lower esophageal sphincter closes. PH monitoring measures the acid amounts in the esophagus for a 24 hour period as the patient perform activities of daily living (a small tube stays in the esophagus to help measure the acid amounts)
Medications used to treat GERD include: Antacids, histamine receptor blockers, proton-pump inhibitors, and prokinetics. Nursing interventions for GERD include: diet teaching (avoids foods that relax the lower esophageal spincter: peppermint/spearmint, alcohol, coffee, fatty/greasy foods), smoking cessation, limiting acids foods such as citrus and tomatoes, avoid eating right before bed, sitting up an hour after a meal, and eating small meals rather than large ones. Monitor the patient for complications, assessing quality/frequency of pain, medication history, and administering medications per MD order.

Thanks for this vid I am someone who has had this disease almost all my life and I liked to learn more about it. All those foods you had that make it worse it's so true! People think I am picky but if they felt like they were going to throw up for hours just because of fast food or there throat burning because of a little soda and it hurts to burp they won't want that stuff anyway! They make my stomach ten times worse than normal! I also liked how you addressed it's not always acidic in feeling my symptoms are almost always nausea or my throat feels swollen most of the time it's just annoying for me other times it goes on for hours and I feel sick too.... Well this was fun to watch while waiting for my Tums to work thanks a lot!

I swear doctors deny this but i have extremely bad gerd and my BP spikes really high during a episode. Have you ever witnessed it? One doctor did see it and found it interesting, had a episode that hurt bad. They took me to the back and did a cardiac work up and it was clear but he seen the BP high but normal is in the 120s over 80s but during a episode i can see 160 over 105 and feel bad chest pressure but cardiac work up is clear. I suspect its because of the pain and because i may be anxious about how bad it feels and that causes the rise in BP but wasn't sure and was curious about it.
