Practice Question
A nurse is providing discharge teaching about nutrition to the parents of a child who has cystic fibrosis (CF). Which of the following responses by the parents indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
"We will give our child pancreatic enzymes with snacks and meals."
Rationale:
🖊️ Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that affects the exocrine glands, leading to thick mucus that blocks pancreatic enzyme secretion into the intestine.
🖊️ Children with CF require pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) with all meals and snacks to aid in the digestion and absorption of fats and proteins.
🖊️ Salt should not be restricted; in fact, sodium intake should be increased due to excessive loss through sweat.
🖊️ Low-fat, low-protein diets are not appropriate—children with CF often need high-calorie, high-protein diets to support growth.
