Radionuclide tests help detect reflux of gastric contents. Manometric studies help measure pressure in the esophagus, lower esophageal sphincter, and esophageal motility function. Esophagram (barium swallow) shows the narrowing of the esophagus at the tumor site.) Which complications can occur due to long-term use of proton pump inhibitors in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)? Select all that apply. 1 Pneumonia 2 Renal calculi 3 Uterine rupture 4 Decreased bone density 5 Chronic hypochlorhydria 1.4.5 ( Long-term use of proton pump inhibitors is associated with pneumonia, decreased bone density, and chronic hypochlorhydria. Renal calculi are associated with antacids. Prostaglandins can cause uterine rupture.) A patient presents to the outpatient clinic with concerns over persistent signs and symptoms of heartburn (pyrosis). What is the most appropriate response for the nurse?
