A client with celiac disease is being taught about dietary management. Which statement by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?

  • A. I should avoid foods that contain gluten.
  • B. I should increase my intake of foods high in gluten.
  • C. I should avoid foods that contain lactose.
  • D. I should increase my intake of foods high in lactose.
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'I should avoid foods that contain gluten.' Celiac disease requires the avoidance of gluten-containing foods to manage symptoms and prevent complications. Gluten is found in wheat, barley, and rye. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the dietary requirements for managing celiac disease. Increasing intake of foods high in gluten or lactose would be detrimental for someone with celiac disease.
