Answer to Question 1

A
When there is constipation, less enzyme is needed; with steatorrhea, more enzyme is needed for digestion of nutrients. Vomiting does not affect enzyme dosaging. The child's weight does not affect enzyme dosaging. Urine output is not relevant to enzyme replacement.

Answer to Question 2

C
Enzymes can be mixed with a small amount of nonprotein foods, such as applesauce. Macaroni and cheese and tapioca are not good choices because enzymes are inactivated by heat and starchy foods. Enzymes are less effective if mixed with foods that are hot, such as hot chocolate.
