The client is diagnosed with malabsorption syndrome (celiac disease). In teaching about the glu-ten-free diet, the nurse informs the client to avoid:
 
  1. Citrus fruits
  2. Vegetables
  3. Red meats
  4. Wheat products

Question 2

A client is suspected of having a fat-soluble vitamin deficiency. To assist the client with this de-ficiency, the nurse informs the client that:
 
  1. More exposure to sunlight and drinking milk could solve your nutritional prob-lem
  2. Eating more pork, fish, eggs, and poultry will increase your vitamin B complex intake
  3. Increasing your protein intake will increase your negative nitrogen imbalance
  4. Decreasing your triglyceride levels by eating less saturated fats would be a good health intervention for you

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
The treatment of malabsorption syndromes, such as celiac disease, includes a gluten-free diet. Gluten is present in wheat, rye, barley, and oats. Citrus fruits, vegetables, and red meat do not contain gluten.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
The fat-soluble vitamins are A, D, E, and K. With the exception of vitamin D, which can be ob-tained through exposure to sunlight, these vitamins are provided through dietary intake, includ-ing fortified milk. The B vitamins are not fat-soluble; they are water-soluble vitamins. Increasing protein intake will improve (decrease) a negative nitrogen imbalance, not increase it. Furthermore, increasing protein intake does not address the problem of a fat-soluble vitamin deficiency.
