Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who has a new prescription for pancrelipase to aid in digestion. The nurse should inform the client to expect which of the following gastrointestinal changes?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Decreased fat in stools. Pancrelipase is a pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy that helps break down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates.
Therefore, the client can expect decreased fat in stools as the enzymes aid in the digestion and absorption of fats.
Choice B, decreased watery stools, is incorrect as pancrelipase does not directly affect stool consistency.
Choices C and D are also incorrect as pancrelipase does not directly impact mucus or the color of stools. Overall, understanding the mechanism of action of pancrelipase helps to determine the correct gastrointestinal change to expect.
