Child being evaluated for celiac disease
Question 1 of 5
The parent of a child being evaluated for celiac disease asks the nurse why it is important to make dietary changes. What is the nurse's best response?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because in celiac disease, the body's immune response to gluten damages the mucosal cells in the intestines, leading to impaired absorption of nutrients. This damage to the mucosa can result in malabsorption of essential nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and fats. This can lead to deficiencies and various health issues.
Choice A is incorrect because the body does not hang on to more fat-soluble vitamins due to gluten response, but rather malabsorbs nutrients.
Choice C is incorrect as the creation of villi is the body's natural response to increase surface area for nutrient absorption, not a cause of diarrhea.
Choice D is incorrect as gluten response does not lead to malabsorption of water and constipation, but rather malabsorption of nutrients.
