Most digestive processes occur in the small intestine. The nurse is reviewing with a client who has had gastrointestinal surgery that these intestinal enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts, which promote and speed up chemical reactions.
 
  Based on this information, which enzyme would be the best response from the client about the enzymes that are responsible for facilitating the formation of proteins into amino acids?
  1 . Pepsin
  2 . Trypsin
  3 . Maltase
  4 . Lactose
  A) 1, 2
  B) 1, 4
  C) 2, 3
  D) 3, 4

Question 2

Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Very few chemical reactions in the body can occur without catalysts. Each enzyme facilitates specific chemical reactions. For example: maltasemaltose into glucose; lactaselactose into galactose and glucose; sucrasesucrose into fructose and glucose; pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase, aminopeptidase, dipeptidaseproteins into amino acids.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The nurse should suggest that standards set by cultural and ethnic groups help individuals maintain their ethnic ideals. The basic human nature of being able to adapt to the society in general comes from an understanding of the needs of people, gaining progressive refinement of human behavior, and showing an interest in education.
