Explanation:

Question 1

Vomiting leads to loss of fluids and electrolytes. Dehydration is fluid loss, and electrolyte imbalance (like loss of sodium, potassium) is a common complication. Hypertension, stroke, and MI are not typical direct complications of vomiting.

GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) treatment includes reducing alcohol (irritant), elevating bed (reduce reflux), and acid - reducing meds. Caffeine is a stimulant that can increase acid production and worsen GERD, so increased caffeine intake is not a treatment.

Most peptic ulcers (around 95% due to H. pylori) can be treated with antibiotics to eliminate the bacteria. This non - surgical treatment is effective, reducing the need for surgical intervention for ulcer treatment in most cases.

Answer:

Electrolyte imbalance
