Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback
A The woman with lactose intolerance is more likely to experience bloating and
cramping, not heartburn.
B One problem that can interfere with milk consumption is lactose intolerance, which is
the inability to digest milk sugar because of a lack of the enzyme lactose in the small
intestine. Milk consumption may cause abdominal cramping, bloating, and diarrhea in
such people, although many lactose-intolerant individuals can tolerate small amounts of
milk without symptoms.
C A woman who breaks out in hives after consuming milk is more likely to have a milk
allergy.
D This woman should be advise to simply brush her teeth after consuming dairy products.

Answer to Question 2

D
In addition to abdominal distension, gastric residuals, vomiting, and bloody stools are early indicators of NEC. Temperature instability, reflux, and meconium ileus are not early manifestations of NEC.
