Solution
The three areas a patient with a GI disorder should be questioned about are:
Indigestion
Swallowing
Eructation
Explanation for each option:
Indigestion: This is a common symptom of gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. It can indicate issues such as acid reflux, ulcers, or other digestive problems. Therefore, it is important to question the patient about indigestion.
Exercise routine: While exercise can impact overall health, it is not directly related to GI disorders. Therefore, it is not a primary area to question in this context.
Respiration: This is more related to respiratory health rather than gastrointestinal health. It is not a primary concern for GI disorders.
Swallowing: Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) can be a symptom of certain GI disorders, such as esophageal disorders. It is important to assess this area.
Blood type: Blood type is not directly related to GI disorders and is not typically questioned in this context.
Eructation: Also known as belching, eructation can be a symptom of digestive issues, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It is relevant to question the patient about this.
In summary, the relevant areas to question a patient with a GI disorder are indigestion, swallowing, and eructation.
