Test Bank for Nutritional Foundations and Clinical Applications 5th Edition by Grodner Sample Chapter 18: Nutrition for Disorders of the Liver, Gallbladder, and Pancreas Test Bank MULTIPLE CHOICE A common disorder in patients who abuse alcohol is a diarrhea b fatty liver c cholecystitis d viral hepatitis ANS: B Fatty liver is the earliest form of alcoholic liver disease Alcohol abuse does not cause diarrhea or cholecystitis Viral hepatitis is caused by viral infection PTS: DIF: Cognitive Level: Knowledge REF: p 390 TOP: Nursing Process: Assessment MSC: Client Needs: Physiological integrity It is possible to reverse fatty infiltration of the liver by a losing weight b reducing fat intake c increasing protein intake d removing the underlying cause ANS: D Fatty infiltration of the liver can be reversed by removing the underlying cause This may be alcohol abuse, excessive kcal intake, obesity, complications of drug therapy (e.g., corticosteroids, tetracyclines), total parenteral nutrition, pregnancy, diabetes mellitus, inadequate intake of protein (e.g., kwashiorkor), infection, or malignancy Losing weight and reducing fat intake will only help if the underlying cause for that individual is related to weight and fat intake Increasing protein intake will only help if the cause is kwashiorkor PTS: DIF: Cognitive Level: Comprehension REF: p 390 TOP: Nursing Process:

integrity The recommended diet for patients with hepatitis is a well-balanced diet with a low protein content b supplemental electrolytes c no alcoholic beverages d limited amounts of alcohol ANS: C Total abstinence from alcohol is imperative for patients with hepatitis The diet should be high in protein and kcals; supplemental electrolytes are not generally needed PTS: DIF: Cognitive Level: Comprehension REF: p 390 TOP:Nursing Process: Planning, Implementation MSC:Client Needs: Physiological integrity An individual may be at risk for hepatitis E if they travel to India and eat a curried shrimp b fresh fruit salad c Tandoori chicken d cooked foods from street vendors ANS: B Hepatitis E is transmitted via the fecal-oral route; food prepared by infected food handlers may transmit the disease Raw fruits and vegetables (e.g., fruit salad) are common sources of infection Foods that are cooked, such as curried shrimp and Tandoori chicken, and foods prepared by street vendors, are not common sources PTS: DIF: Cognitive Level: Application REF: pp 393-394 TOP: Nursing Process: Planning MSC: Client Needs: Health promotion and maintenance For patients with hepatitis, a significant barrier to maintaining an adequate intake of kcals is a malabsorption b fat intolerance c loss of appetite d increased metabolic rate ANS: C Patients with hepatitis often have very little appetite, which makes it hard for them to achieve adequate oral intake of nutrients Patients with hepatitis not usually have problems with malabsorption, fat intolerance, or increased metabolic rate PTS: DIF: Cognitive Level: Knowledge REF: p 394 TOP:Nursing Process: Assessment, Implementation MSC:Client Needs: Physiological integrity In cirrhosis of the liver, liver cells a decrease in number and increase in size b are displaced by growth of tumors c become disconnected because of breakdown of connective tissue d are replaced by accumulations of fibrous connective tissue and fat ANS: D In cirrhosis of the liver, liver cells are replaced by accumulations of fibrous connective tissue and fat The cells die, so they decrease in number, but not increase in size Liver tumors are caused by cancer, not cirrhosis Cirrhosis does not cause breakdown of connective tissue PTS: DIF: Cognitive Level: Knowledge REF: p 394 TOP: Nursing Process: Assessment MSC: Client Needs: Physiological integrity A low-fiber, soft diet is recommended for patients with a hepatitis A b cholelithiasis c esophageal varices d hepatic encephalopathy ANS: C A low-fiber, soft diet is recommended for patients with esophageal varices because fibrous or abrasive foods could cause potentially life-threatening bleeding Patients with hepatitis A should follow a high-protein, high-kcal diet; patients with cholelithiasis should follow a low-fat diet; patients with hepatic encephalopathy should restrict their protein intake PTS: DIF: Cognitive Level: Comprehension REF: p 394 TOP:Nursing Process: Planning, Implementation MSC:Client Needs: Physiological integrity 10 Patients with ascites should restrict their intake of a protein b sodium c dietary fiber d saturated fat ANS: B Patients with ascites should restrict their intake of sodium to limit fluid retention Protein intake should not be restricted unless the patient has encephalopathy Dietary fiber intake should only be limited if the patient has esophageal varices Intake of saturated fat does not need to be limited PTS: DIF: Cognitive Level: Comprehension REF: p 394 TOP:Nursing Process: Planning, Implementation MSC:Client Needs: Physiological integrity 11 If a patient with cirrhosis of the liver becomes confused and apathetic, he or she may be developing a fatty liver b hepatitis D c secondary depression d hepatic encephalopathy ANS: D If a patient with cirrhosis of the liver becomes confused and apathetic, he or she may be developing hepatic encephalopathy, as the brain is influenced by compounds that have been absorbed from the intestine and have not been metabolized by the liver Fatty liver develops first, before progression to cirrhosis Any form of hepatitis can lead to cirrhosis, but cirrhosis does not cause hepatitis Depression may cause apathy, but does not usually cause confusion PTS: DIF: Cognitive Level: Knowledge REF: p 394 TOP: Nursing Process: Assessment MSC: Client Needs: Physiological integrity 12 Drugs that are used to treat hepatic encephalopathy include a antidepressants b diuretics and steroids c neomycin and lactulose d laxatives and stool softeners ANS: C Neomycin is an antibiotic used to sterilize the bowel to decrease the amount of urea that can be converted to ammonia Lactulose is used to lower stool pH which traps ammonia in the colon Antidepressants are ineffective because the mental problems associated with encephalopathy are related to metabolism rather than depression Diuretics are used to treat ascites associated with cirrhosis, but are not used for encephalopathy Steroids are not effective Lactulose is used to lower stool pH, not for its laxative and stool softening effects PTS: DIF: Cognitive Level: Comprehension REF: p 395 TOP:Nursing

the liver to prevent a muscle catabolism b development of ascites c essential fatty acid deficiency d loss of appetite and taste acuity ANS: A Adequate intake of kcals helps prevent breakdown of muscle to provide energy in patients with cirrhosis of the liver Adequate kcal intake does not prevent ascites, essential fatty acid deficiency, and loss of appetite and taste acuity PTS: DIF: Cognitive Level: Knowledge REF: pp 395-396 TOP: Nursing Process: Assessment MSC: Client Needs: Physiological integrity 17 A patient with end-stage liver disease may lose fat stores and muscle mass, but this may not be evident from measurements of body weight because of a dehydration b fat redistribution c ascites and edema d electrolyte imbalances ANS: C Patients with end-stage liver disease often accumulate fluid due to ascites and edema This increases body weight, which may mask fat and muscle losses Patients with end-stage liver disease are not usually dehydrated and not usually have electrolyte imbalances Fat infiltrates the liver but is not otherwise redistributed in the body PTS: DIF: Cognitive Level: Application REF: p 396 TOP: Nursing Process: Assessment MSC: Client Needs: Physiological integrity 18 After liver transplantation, long-term nutrition management may need to be tailored to help prevent a weight loss, anorexia, and nausea b ascites, edema, and electrolyte imbalances c cirrhosis, hepatic encephalopathy, and hepatic coma d excessive weight gain, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia ANS: D Long-term nutrition management after a liver transplant needs to be tailored to help prevent excessive weight gain, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia Weight loss, anorexia, and nausea not usually occur Ascites, edema, and electrolyte imbalances may occur immediately after the transplant, but not usually persist long term Cirrhosis, hepatic encephalopathy, and hepatic coma not occur after a successful transplant PTS: DIF: Cognitive Level: Comprehension REF: pp

four times a week b man who smokes and eats eggs for breakfast every day c overweight man who has recently begun an exercise program d mother with four children who has lost 25 pounds in the past months ANS: D Rapid weight loss increases risk for gallstones, so a mother who has lost 25 pounds in the past months could easily develop gallstones Underweight, regular exercise, smoking, and eating eggs not increase risk for gallstones Overweight increases risk for gallstones, but less than rapid weight loss PTS: DIF: Cognitive Level: Application REF: pp 397-398 TOP: Nursing Process: Assessment MSC: Client Needs: Physiological integrity 20 Cholecystitis is caused by a blockage of the bile duct by gallstones, bacterial infection, or ischemia b concentration of bile in the gallbladder that favors formation of gallstones c failure of the gallbladder to contract and release bile into the small intestine d intake of excessive amounts of cholesterol and fat combined with bacterial infection ANS: A Cholecystitis occurs when gallstones block the cystic duct or as the result of stasis, bacterial infection, or ischemia of the gallbladder Concentration of bile in the gallbladder causes cholelithiasis, or formation of gallstones Failure of the gallbladder to contract and release bile may lead to gallstone formation; this may be caused by very low fat intake or dieting Intake of excessive amounts of cholesterol and fat and bacterial infection are not associated with gallbladder disease PTS: DIF: Cognitive Level: Knowledge REF: pp 397-398 TOP: Nursing Process: Assessment MSC: Client Needs: Physiological integrity 21 If a patient experiences chronic symptoms of cholelithiasis and cholecystitis, the recommended nutrition therapy is a a low-fat diet b gradual weight loss c increased fluid intake d a low-cholesterol diet ANS: A A low-fat diet is used to treat painful symptoms associated with cholelithiasis and cholecystitis Gradual weight loss may be beneficial in the long term, but will not decrease painful symptoms Increased fluid intake and a low-cholesterol diet not alleviate symptoms PTS: DIF: Cognitive Level: Comprehension REF: p 398 TOP:Nursing Process: Planning, Implementation MSC:Client Needs: Physiological integrity 22 After surgical removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy), long-term dietary recommendations are a a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet b high protein and fluid intakes c a well-balanced diet with no other restrictions d small, frequent meals to ensure adequate intake ANS: C After cholecystectomy, long-term dietary restrictions are not needed Some patients need to restrict fat intake for a few weeks during recovery, but not long term High protein and fluid intakes and small, frequent meals are not needed PTS: DIF: Cognitive

high-protein diet c a high-fat, high-kcal diet d enteral or parenteral nutrition ANS: D During acute episodes of pancreatitis, patients often need enteral nutrition infused into the jejunum, further down the gut than would cause pancreatic stimulation An oral feeding can cause pancreatic stimulation and acute pain PTS: DIF: Cognitive Level: Comprehension REF: pp 398-399 TOP:Nursing Process: Planning, Implementation MSC:Client Needs: Physiological integrity 25 When patients with pancreatitis are able to tolerate enteral feedings, the recommended formula is usually a _ formula infused into the _ a low-fat elemental; jejunum b low-fat elemental; duodenum c high-kcal, high-protein; jejunum d high-kcal, high-protein; duodenum ANS: A Enteral feedings for patients with pancreatitis should be low-fat elemental formulas infused into the jejunum to decrease pancreatic stimulation High-kcal, high-protein formulas and infusion into the duodenum would both increase pancreatic stimulation PTS: DIF: Cognitive Level: Comprehension REF: p 399 TOP:Nursing Process: Planning, Implementation MSC:Client Needs: Physiological integrity 26 Cystic fibrosis is caused by a a genetic defect b cigarette smoking c bacterial infection d inadequate folate intake ANS: A Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive inherited disease (i.e., it is caused by a genetic defect) The lung problems seen in cystic fibrosis are not caused by smoking cigarettes Frequent lung infections are a symptom, rather than a cause of the disease Inadequate folate intake is linked to increased risk of neural tube defects PTS: DIF: Cognitive Level: Knowledge REF: pp 399-400 TOP: Nursing Process: Assessment MSC: Client Needs: Physiological integrity 27 Most patients with cystic fibrosis require a a low-fat, low-energy diet and hormone replacement therapy b high-fiber diet, supplements of water-soluble vitamins, and diuretics c high-protein diet, sodium restriction, and supplements of fat-soluble vitamins d high-kcal diet, multivitamin supplements, and enzyme replacement therapy ANS: D Patients with cystic fibrosis require a high-kcal diet to compensate for high metabolic rate and malabsorption, multivitamin supplements to compensate for malabsorption, and enzyme replacement therapy to increase digestion and absorption of nutrients A low-fat, low-energy diet would result in malnutrition Patients have impaired secretion of enzymes, hormone production is normal A high-fiber diet does not have any specific benefit for this population Diuretics are not needed and could be dangerous because of excessive electrolyte losses Sodium intake should be liberal, rather than restricted Protein intakes may exceed the DRI, but needs are met by increased food intake PTS: DIF: Cognitive

chronic disease such as cystic fibrosis is a having a sense of humor b avoiding talking about it c making friends only with others who have the same disease d making friends only with others who not have the same disease ANS: A A sense of humor is a helpful coping mechanism for patients with chronic diseases such as cystic fibrosis Avoiding talking about it simply magnifies fears and causes isolation It is probably helpful for patients to have friends who have the disease who can identify with its struggles and friends who not have the disease who can provide a sense of normalcy PTS:
