Answer to Question 1

A
The child with celiac disease is unable to fully digest gluten, the protein found in wheat, barley, rye, and oats. Oatmeal contains gluten and is not an appropriate food selection. Rice is an appropriate choice because it does not contain gluten. Corn is digestible because it does not contain gluten. Meats do not contain gluten and can be included in the diet of a child with celiac disease.

Answer to Question 2

B
The child between 1 and 10 years requires a minimum of 800 milligrams of calcium daily. Because high-calcium dairy products containing lactose are restricted from the child's diet, alternate sources such as egg yolk, green leafy vegetables, dried beans, and cauliflower must be provided to prevent hypocalcemia. Yogurt and cheese contain lactose. Rice is not high in calcium.
