Question

a client complains of stomach pain 30 minutes to 1 hour after eating. the pain is not relieved by further intake of food, although it is relieved by vomiting. a gastric ulcer is suspected. the nurse would determine that which data would further support this diagnosis? answer options: 1. history of frequent intake of spicy foods 2. frequent heartburn with a sour taste in the mouth 3. complaints of stress with a history of chronic kidney disease 4. history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with weight loss

Explanation:

Spicy foods can irritate the stomach lining and are a risk - factor for gastric ulcers. Heartburn with a sour taste is more typical of gastro - esophageal reflux disease. Stress and chronic kidney disease are not directly related to gastric ulcers as a primary indicator. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with weight loss has no direct link to gastric ulcers.

Answer:

1. History of frequent intake of spicy foods
