Question

A client is diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and Barrett esophagus with minor cell changes. Which of the following principles should be integrated into the client's subsequent care? Liver enzymes must be checked regularly, as H2 receptor antagonists may cause hepatic damage. Antacids may be discontinued when symptoms of heartburn subside. The client will require an upper endoscopy every 6 months to detect malignant changes. Small amounts of blood are likely to be present in the stools and are not cause for concern.
