Question 4 of 5

Which parental statement indicates correct understanding regarding pancreatic enzyme administration in the treatment of cystic fibrosis?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: "I will administer this medication with meals and snacks." Pancreatic enzymes should be administered with meals and snacks to aid in the digestion of nutrients in children with cystic fibrosis. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because administering the medication without meals and snacks may not provide the necessary support for digestion needed in cystic fibrosis.

Question 5 of 5

The parents of a child with sickle cell anemia ask why their child did not have a sickle cell crisis until he was approximately 6 months old. How should the nurse respond?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. Fetal hemoglobin (HbF) is present in high levels during early infancy, inhibiting sickling unlike adult hemoglobin (HbS). As the levels of HbF decrease and HbS increases, the risk of sickling and crises becomes more pronounced, typically after 6 months of age. Choice A is incorrect because it assumes the crisis went unnoticed, which is not supported by medical knowledge. Choice B is incorrect as it questions the child's diagnosis rather than explaining the phenomenon of delayed crises. Choice D is incorrect as it does not provide the parents with the necessary information regarding their query.
