Question 4 of 5
A child who has recently been diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (CF) is being assessed by a pediatric clinic nurse. Which finding of this disease would the nurse not expect to see at this time?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Moist, productive cough. Option C is a later sign. Noisy respirations and a dry non-productive cough are commonly the first of the respiratory signs to appear in a newly diagnosed client with CF. The other options are the earliest findings. CF is an inherited (genetic) condition affecting the cells that produce mucus, sweat, saliva and digestive juices. Normally, these secretions are thin and slippery, but in CF, a defective gene causes the secretions to become thick and sticky. Instead of acting as a lubricant, the secretions plug up tubes, ducts and passageways, especially in the pancreas and lungs. Respiratory failure is the most dangerous consequence of CF.
