A fifteen-month-old toddler has had large frothy foul-smelling stools since the introduction of table food in the diet and has become irritable and apathetic. The child is diagnosed with celiac disease and is placed on a gluten-free diet. When evaluating the child’s response to the diet after two days, the nurse anticipates the change will be:
  1. An increase in weight
  2. A return of appetite
  3. An improved personality
  4. A cessation of diarrhea
Explanation
Answer - C - When evaluating the child’s response to the diet after two days, the nurse anticipates the change will be an improved personality. A favorable personality change within one to two days attests to the effectiveness of the diet; other improvements take longer.
