ANS: D
Approximately 85 of those with CF present early in life with pancreatic insufficiency (PI). PI is the cause of nutrient malabsorption and failure to thrive in children with CF. Infants with CF have normal bile production; they experience pancreatic enzyme deficiency. Diagnosed infants do not experience gastric atrophy or hypersecretion of stomach acid.
