Answer to Question 1

A
The treatment for lactose intolerance is removal of lactose from the diet. Formulas that do not contain lactose (Isomil, Nursoy, Nutramigen, Prosobee, and other soy-based formulas) may be given to the infant suspected of having lactose intolerance. Enfamil, Similac, and Good Start are all milk-based formulas.

Answer to Question 2

D
Antacids can interfere with antiulcer medication if given less than 1 hour before or after antiulcer medications. A bland diet is not indicated for ulcer disease. The diet should be a regular diet that is low in caffeine, and the child should eat a meal or snack every 2 to 3 hours. Eating alone is not indicated.
