- Proton Pump inhibators (PPI)
- Histamine-2 (H2) - blocking agents
T/F: Hiatal hernia occurs when the stomach partially comes through a weakened abdominal wall in the upper left quadrant.
FALSE,
Hiatal hernia occurs due to a weakness in the diaphragm that allows a portion of the stomach to migrate upward into the thoracic cavity.
