Practice Question
What clinical manifestations would a nurse expect to find in a client with celiac disease?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Chronic diarrhea and abdominal bloating
Rationale:
🌾 Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by the ingestion of gluten, which damages the small intestinal mucosa and leads to malabsorption.
🌾 Common clinical manifestations include chronic diarrhea, abdominal bloating, flatulence, weight loss, and fatigue due to nutrient deficiencies.
🌾 The chronic diarrhea results from malabsorption of fats and other nutrients, while abdominal bloating is caused by excess gas production from poorly digested food.
🌾 Early recognition is important to prevent complications such as iron-deficiency anemia, osteoporosis, and growth delays in children.
