A client who has had his gallbladder (GB) removed asks the nurse, "Why do I feel sick every time I go through a drive-in fast-food restaurant and order burgers and fries?" The nurse bases the response knowing that:
A) The restaurant may have "bad" grease in their fryer.
B) Without a GB, the size of the client's stomach has been decreased.
C) Bile from the GB is needed to breakdown lipids.
D) When the GB is removed, the pancreatic duct is also removed.
Ans: C
Feedback:
The common bile duct and pancreatic duct empty their juices into the duodenum. Bile, a fluid synthesized by the liver that breaks down lipids, and pancreatic juices, which facilitate digestion of lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins, enter the intestine through these ducts. If the GB is removed, a high-lipid meal may not be broken down and digested normally. Neither the stomach size nor the pancreatic duct is removed during GB surgery.
