Question 1
An 8-week-old male was recently diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. Which of the following
digestive alterations would be expected?
Insufficient bile production
Gastric atrophy
Hypersecretion of stomach acid
Nutrient malabsorption
Question 2
In alcoholic cirrhosis, hepatocellular damage is caused by:
acetaldehyde accumulation.
bile toxicity.
acidosis.
fatty infiltrations.
Question 3
A 3-month-old female develops colicky pain, abdominal distention, and diarrhea after
drinking cow’s milk. The best explanation for her symptoms is:
Deficiency of bile that stimulates digestive secretions and bowel motility
Excess of amylase, which increases the breakdown of starch and causes an osmotic diarrhea
Overgrowth of bacteria from undigested fat molecules, which leads to gas formation and
decreased bowel motility
Excess of undigested lactose in her digestive tract, resulting in increased fluid movement into
the digestive lumen and increased bowel motility
