An adolescent has been diagnosed with lactose maldigestion intolerance. The nurse teaches the adolescent about lactose maldigestion intolerance and notes the teen needs further teaching if which statement is made?
a. "I will limit my milk consumption to one to two glasses a day."
b. "I should drink the milk alone and not with other foods."
c. "Hard cheese, cottage cheese, or yogurt can be substituted for milk."
d. "I will take a calcium supplement daily."
ANS: B
Most people are able to tolerate small amounts of lactose ( 1 cup of milk per day) even in the presence of deficient lactase activity. It is recommended that individuals with lactose maldigestion who do not experience lactose intolerance symptoms continue to consume small amounts of dairy products with meals to prevent reduced bone mass density and subsequent osteoporosis. Hard cheese, cottage cheese, and yogurt are sources of lactose that may be better tolerated. A calcium supplement should be taken daily. Milk taken at meals may be better tolerated than when taken alone.
