You are counseling Lillian, who is lactose intolerant, about foods to avoid.
You know she misunderstands the teaching when she tells you she can
have:
1. Yogurt.
2.Foods containing whey.
3.Prehydrolyzed milk.
4.Oranges. - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Foods containing whey
rationale: Advise clients who are lactose intolerant to avoid foods
containing whey. Whey is a lactose-rich ingredient found in some foods, so
clients who are lactose intolerant need to read labels on all foods. To
control symptoms, dietary lactose should be reduced or restricted by using
lactose-reduced and lactose-free dairy products or by eating lactose-rich
foods in small amounts or in combination with low-lactose or lactose-free
foods.

, Simon, age 72, states that he is worried because he has a bowel
movement only every third day. You respond:
1."You should have two to three stools per day."
2."You should defecate once a day."
3."You should have at least three stools per week."
4."There is no such thing as a 'normal' pattern of defecation." - 🧠 ANSWER
✔✔There is no such thing as a normal pattern of defecation
rationale: There is no such thing as a "normal" pattern of defecation.
Patterns of defecation vary widely and may in part be affected by dietary
habits, fluid intake, bacteria in the stool, psychological stress, or voluntary
postponement of defecation. Defecating every third day could be the
routine pattern for Simon. He should be questioned if this is routine for him.
Timothy, age 68, complains of an abrupt change in his defecation pattern.
You evaluate him for:
1.Constipation.
2.Colorectal cancer.
