Question 1 of 5
A client has been diagnosed with pancreatic insufficiency. Which treatment option does the nurse anticipate for this client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Replacement therapy with pancreatic enzymes. Pancreatic insufficiency impairs the ability of the pancreas to produce digestive enzymes, leading to malabsorption. Replacement therapy with pancreatic enzymes helps the client digest and absorb essential nutrients from food. PPIs (
A) are used to decrease stomach acid and are not indicated for pancreatic insufficiency. Stimulant laxatives (
B) are used to treat constipation, not pancreatic insufficiency. Decreasing food intake (
D) is not appropriate as it may worsen malnutrition in clients with pancreatic insufficiency.
