Anune is providing teaching to a client who has a prescription for a low-fat diet. Which of the following statements indicates an understanding of the teaching?

Choice A reason: Skim milk is not an appropriate snack choice for a 9-month-old infant. Infants under 12 months of age should not consume cow's milk, as it can cause iron deficiency, gastrointestinal bleeding, and allergic reactions. Infants should be breastfed or formula-fed until they are 12 months old.

Choice B reason: Unsalted popcorn is not an appropriate snack choice for a 9-month-old infant. Popcorn is a choking hazard for infants, as it can easily get stuck in their throat or lungs. Infants should not be given any hard, round, or sticky foods that can cause choking.

Choice C reason: Raw carrots are not an appropriate snack choice for a 9-month-old infant. Raw carrots are also a choking hazard for infants, as they are hard and difficult to chew and swallow. Infants should be given soft, cooked, or pureed vegetables that can be easily mashed with their gums.

Choice D reason: Graham crackers are an appropriate snack choice for a 9-month-old infant. Graham crackers are soft, easy to chew and swallow, and provide carbohydrates and energy. They can also help infants practice their self-feeding skills and finger coordination.

Choice A reason: Dietary restrictions will not eventually allow the intake of gluten to resume. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, rye, and some oats. It causes damage to the small intestine in people with celiac disease. The only treatment for celiac disease is a lifelong gluten-free diet.

Choice B reason: This condition may cause secondary lactose intolerance. Lactose is a sugar found in milk and dairy products. It is broken down by an enzyme called lactase in the small intestine. People with celiac disease may have reduced levels of lactase due to the damage to the small intestine caused by gluten. This can lead to lactose intolerance, which is the inability to digest lactose properly. Symptoms of lactose intolerance include bloating, gas, diarrhea, and abdominal pain after consuming dairy products.

Choice C reason: Nutritional therapy for this condition does not include limiting proteins and calories. People with celiac disease need adequate amounts of proteins and calories to maintain their health and prevent malnutrition. They also need to ensure that they get enough vitamins, minerals, and fiber from gluten-free sources.

Choice D reason: A normal diet cannot resume after a period of remission. Celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune disorder that does not have a cure. Even if the symptoms improve or disappear, the damage to the small intestine can still occur if gluten is consumed. Therefore, a strict gluten-free diet must be followed for life.
