Individuals with lactose intolerance may tolerate foods that contain small amounts of lactose if they are

a. consumed with other foods.
b. well cooked rather than raw.
c. consumed with foods that contain vitamin D.
d. derived from goat's milk rather than cow's milk.

Question 2

When discussing the use of dietary supplements with an HIV positive patient, the nurse should address the fact that even dietary supplements that have shown some efficacy to support their use may have adverse side effects and should be discussed with

the provider to assess for potential side effects or toxicities. A good example of this is would be the interaction between antiretroviral medications and: 1. Chamomile.
2. St. John's Wort.
3. Vitamin A.
4. Catnip.

Answer to Question 1

A
Individuals with lactose intolerance may tolerate foods that contain small amounts of lactose if they are consumed with other foods. Cooking foods that contain lactose does not improve toler-ance. Vitamin D does not improve lactose tolerance. Goat's milk is not better tolerated than cow's milk by people with lactose intolerance; both contain lactose.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: St. John's Wort has been reported to have numerous negative effects because it uses a similar drug metabolism pathway common to many drugs. Adverse side effects have been reported with numerous antiretroviral medications, especially protease inhibitors. Vitamin A has not been reported to have serious adverse effects, nor has chamomile, or catnip.
