Answer to Question 1

Ans:
B

Feedback:

People with a deficiency of lactase, the enzyme that breaks down lactose, experience diarrhea when they drink milk or eat dairy products. Doubtful the child is anxious about the calories in ice cream. Gallbladder disease s/s usually occur in relation to high saturated fat intake. Peptic ulcer s/s include bloating, vomiting blood, foul coffee ground stools, etc.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A

Feedback:

Renal transplantation and dialysis are recommended for children; of these, transplantation is the preferred treatment. Conservative measures are inappropriate in this age group because of the importance of fostering proper bone growth, especially in the first 2 years, and appropriate cognitive development, which is at risk due to issues such as uremic encephalopathy and the effect of renal failure upon the central nervous system of the developing child.
