Anew mother reports that her niece was diagnosed as an infant with gastroesophageal reflux (ger). the newborn's mother asks the nurse if her newborn also has this diagnosis. which findings should the nurse identify as potential indicators of ger? select all that apply.

The GER or gastroesophageal reflux takes place when the contents of the stomach come back up into the esophagus leading to heartburn. The GERD or gastroesophageal reflux disease is a more critical and enduring form of GER and may inhibit an infant from feeding.  

The main signs of GERD in infants is spitting up more than they usually do. Other signs include vomiting, colic, and refusing to eat. The GERD takes place when the lower esophageal sphincter of an infant is not completely developed. Thus, the nurse should be looking for the signs of irritability, choking with feeding, failure to thrive, regurgitation, and spitting up.  

yes, because even though a theory has a  lot of evidence to support it, it is not always true

the oldest known insects are believed to live around 400 millions ago as suggested by the fossil records.   some plants having woody stems also evolved during this time.

after the evolution of insects the first four legged species or the tetrapods evolved in shallow freshwater habitats from the intermediate species approximately 397 million years ago. the tetrapods went on conquering the land giving rise to amphibians, reptiles, mammals and birds.

the major split in tetrapods first occurred 340 million years ago branching off from amphibians.

363 million years ago when the carboniferous period began the insects started roaming on land and taking flights, following which the four limbed tetrapods adapted in the terrestrial habitat.
