1. A patient is diagnosed with GERD, and their endoscopic report reveals the
presence of Barrett’s epithelium. Which of the following should the PCP
include in the explanation of the pathology report?
a. This is premalignant tissue
b. This tissue is resistant to gastric acid
c. This tissue supports healing of the esophagus
d. All of the above
Correct answer: d. All of the above
Rationale: Barrett’s esophagus is a condition that arises due to chronic acid exposure,
and it often involves cellular changes in the esophagus lining, making it premalignant.
This epithelium can be more resistant to acid, and it may support some healing of the
esophagus as the cells adapt to the constant acid exposure.
2. Which of the following dietary instructions should be given to a patient with
GERD?
a. Eliminate coffee
b. Drink peppermint tea to relieve stomach distress
c. Recline and rest after meals
d. Limit the amount of antacids
Correct answer: a. Eliminate coffee
Rationale: Coffee can relax the lower esophageal sphincter and worsen GERD
symptoms, so it is best to avoid. Peppermint can also relax the sphincter, reclining after
meals can exacerbate reflux, and antacids should be used cautiously but are not the
main dietary focus.
