The nurse designs a teaching plan for the client with chronic pancreatitis who receives pancrelipase (Pancreaze). What will the best plan by the nurse include as it relates to the rationale for the client to receive this drug?
1. "These enzymes replace what your ineffective pancreas cannot make."
2. "These enzymes will help promote healing of your pancreas."
3. "These enzymes promote digestion of starches and fats."

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Chronic pancreatitis eventually leads to pancreatic insufficiency that may necessitate replacement of pancreatic enzymes.
Rationale 2: Pancreatitis enzymes do not help heal the pancreas.
Rationale 3: Pancreatic enzymes will help digest food, but this is not the reason the client is receiving them.
Rationale 4: Pancreatic enzymes will help digest food, but this is not the reason the client is receiving them.
