Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The use of pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy is indicated when there is a lack of pancreatic enzyme secretion, which may occur in malabsorption disorders such as pancreatitis. Its use is not contraindicated in clients with pain in the abdomen or acute pancreatitis, but may not be effective in treating these symptoms specifically. However, its use is contraindicated in clients with cystic fibrosis because this condition requires a specific form of pancreatic enzyme replacement.
