At a previous visit, the parents of an infant with cystic fibrosis received instruction in the administration of pancrelipase. At a follow-up visit, which finding in the infant suggests that the parents require more teaching about administering the pancreatic enzymes?
a. Fatty stools
b. Normal stools
c. Bloody stools
d. Liquid stools

A- Fatty stools

Explanation:

Fatty stools are stools that contains fat or

stool which oil float on them. Fatty stools occurs when the body does not fully digest or absorb the nutrients properly or the body is not making the enzymes needed.

The finding that the infant had FATTY STOOL suggests that the parents require more teaching about administering the pancreatic enzymes.

Pancreatic enzymes may be insufficiency when the pancreas does not produce enough of the enzymes that help to aid digestion.

Therefore a sufficient PANCREATIC ENZYMES in the infants body will enable the pancreas to produce enough enzyme which will help to aid digestion in the infant and as well stop the FATTY STOOL.

The answer is A

Explanation:

The pancreas is a long somewhat flattened gland that is located deep in the belly abdomen. The function of the pancreas is to release enzymes enable digestion as well as secrete hormones that help regulate the metabolism of sugars.

Pancreatic enzymes, which can also be known as pancreatin and pancrelipase, are commercial mixtures of amylase, lipase, and protease. They are used to treat malabsorption syndrome due to certain pancreatic problems.

A fatty stool is a symptom of a defective pancreas since the pancreas helps to break down far in order to aid digestion. I
