Answer to Question 1

D
Patients with cystic fibrosis require a high-kcal diet to compensate for high metabolic rate and malabsorption, multivitamin supplements to compensate for malabsorption, and enzyme re-placement therapy to increase digestion and absorption of nutrients. A low-fat, low-energy diet would result in malnutrition. Patients have impaired secretion of enzymes, hormone production is normal. A high-fiber diet does not have any specific benefit for this population. Diuretics are not needed and could be dangerous because of excessive electrolyte losses. Sodium intake should be liberal, rather than restricted. Protein intakes may exceed the DRI, but needs are met by in-creased food intake.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Individuals with ileostomy should increase their salt intake to replenish losses.
