Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Celiac disease causes malabsorption of nutrients. The child who is gaining weight and is more energetic is most likely following the required diet. Because knowledge of dietary management is a major goal for patients with this disease, this statement shows that this goal has been met. The other statements are incorrect. Gluten is often hidden in foods. Rice is allowed. Following the gluten-free diet is required for life.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
All of these laboratory values are typical in a patient with cirrhosis. However, albumin deficiency causes fluid to be lost from the vascular space, leading to edema.
