Answer to Question 1

A
Children with celiac disease must eliminate all wheat, rye, barley, oats, and hydrolyzed vegetable proteins from their diet. Cornbread does not contain glutens. Most buns, barley, and rye bread contain glutens.

Answer to Question 2

C
The highest priority goal is that the child will not experience diarrhea associated with malabsorption syndrome; this goal is correct for a child with malabsorption associated with lactose intolerance. A child usually has abdominal cramping, pain, and distention rather than spasms. The child usually has diarrhea, not constipation. One kilogram a day is too much weight gain with no time parameters.
