What Role Do Nurses Play in Managing Gastric Dysfunction?
Nurses are integral in the management of patients with gastric dysfunction:
Educating patients about dietary modifications and lifestyle changes to alleviate symptoms. Administering medications such as antacids, proton pump inhibitors, or prokinetics as prescribed. Monitoring the effectiveness of treatment and any adverse effects, adjusting care plans as needed. Providing emotional support and addressing concerns related to symptoms and treatment.
