Question 5 of 5
Betty is a 9-year-old girl diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. Which of the following must Nurse Archie keep in mind when developing a care plan for the child?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that primarily affects the lungs and digestive system. One of the key characteristics of CF is the production of abnormally thick and sticky mucus in the respiratory system. This thick mucus can obstruct the airways, leading to recurrent lung infections, difficulty breathing, and other respiratory complications. Therefore, Nurse Archie must keep in mind the need to address and manage the thick pulmonary secretions when developing a care plan for Betty, the 9-year-old girl with cystic fibrosis.
