The nurse is meeting with a client and his caregiver to assess the client's progress with a gluten-free diet. The caregiver appears upset and, when asked, says that the client "cheats" and occasionally eats snacks that contain gluten. The client angrily replies, "I don't get sick, do I? Once in a while, it doesn't hurt." What additional teaching can the nurse provide to this client and caregiver?"The fact that he has no symptoms shows that the treatment is working.""Let him do what he wants. He's an adult.""The fact that he doesn't have symptoms is a good sign.""Gluten will damage the villi even if there are no symptoms."
