Heartburn occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) -- the passageway from your esophagus to your stomach -- relaxes inappropriately and food comes back upward, or when the stomach produces too much acid and this is refluxed into the esophagus.
Source: *U.S. Rehab Aide Job Description. Rehabilitation aides, working under the direct supervision of a physical therapist or assistant, assist in the productive operation of a physical therapy practice. Aides often maintain the treatment area and prep therapy sessions, aiding in the transport of immobile patients.
An aide typically will also measure patientsâ vital signs, such as blood pressure, temperature and breathing and heart rates, throughout the day. If a patient's vital signs are outside of the normal range, the aide does not treat the patient but instead will inform the facility's nurses or doctors on duty. A medication aide keeps detailed medical records on patients and must note any allergies or other reactions in the patients' files.
