    A nurse is reinforcing teaching with an adolescent client who has a new diagnosis of lactose intolerance. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Rice milk is a good alternative for someone with lactose intolerance as it is lactose-free and does not cause digestive discomfort. B. Flavored yogurt may still contain lactose, and the added sugar can make it less ideal for someone with lactose intolerance. Plain yogurt, however, may be easier to digest for some individuals because it contains live cultures that help break down lactose. C. Gradually increasing lactose-containing products is not recommended for someone with lactose intolerance. The goal is typically to avoid or limit lactose to prevent symptoms. D. Calcium-fortified orange juice is a good source of calcium for individuals with lactose intolerance and does not need to be limited unless the individual has other dietary restrictions.
