Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Patients with deficiencies of digestive enzymes such as lactase or amylase have difficulty digesting certain foods. Diarrhea usually develops because of irritation from undigested food. Constipation, excessive salivation, and vomiting do not result from enzyme deficiencies.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Stool softeners are routinely used for the prevention of constipation or to prevent straining with defecation (e.g., in patients recovering from myocardial infarction or abdominal surgery). Bulk-forming laxatives and emollients can cause straining. Stimulants can cause cramping and straining.
