Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Provide a high-kilocalorie, high-protein, and low-fat diet, and restrict milk and milk products if lactose intolerance is present. The Crohn patient needs an elevation in calories related to the nutrients lost as a result of diarrhea. A high-calorie, low-protein diet (called the DASH diet) is appropriate for the patient wanting to lower elevated blood pressure.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Diverticulitis can manifest as a palpable mass in the left lower quadrant as a result of the inflammatory response. A mass in the upper-right quadrant could involve a disorder of the liver or transverse colon. McBurney point is palpated to elicit rebound tenderness pain characteristic of appendicitis. A mass in the epigastric region could indicate a disorder of the stomach or pancreas.
