A nurse is planning to teach an adolescent who is lactose intolerant about dietary guidelines.
Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
"You can drink milk on an empty stomach.”
"You might tolerate plain milk better than chocolate milk.”
"You can replace milk with nondairy sources of calcium.”
"You should consume flavored yogurt instead of plain yogurt.”
The Correct Answer is C
People with lactose intolerance can replace milk and dairy products with nondairy sources of calcium such as calcium-fortified products, fish with soft bones, broccoli and leafy green vegetables, oranges, almonds, Brazil nuts, and dried beans.
Choice A is wrong because “You can drink milk on an empty stomach” is not an answer because it may worsen symptoms of lactose intolerance.
Choice B is wrong because “You might tolerate plain milk better than chocolate milk” is not an answer because both plain and chocolate milk contain lactose.
Choice D is wrong because “You should consume flavored yogurt instead of plain yogurt” is not an answer because both flavored and plain yogurt contain lactose.
