Answer Choices:
Replacement therapy with pancreatic enzymes
🧬 Replacement therapy with pancreatic enzymes — This is correct because pancreatic insufficiency means the pancreas is not producing enough enzymes to digest food, so the client needs enzyme replacement therapy (e.g., pancrelipase) to aid in digestion and nutrient absorption.
🧬 Treatment with PPIs to decrease stomach acid — This is incorrect because the main issue is enzyme deficiency, not excess stomach acid.
🧬 Treatment with stimulant laxatives — This is incorrect because the condition is not related to bowel motility, but rather digestion and enzyme secretion.
🧬 Decrease food intake — This is incorrect and harmful; the client needs nutrients and enzymes to digest food properly, not dietary restriction.
