Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for an adolescent client who has cystic fibrosis. Which of the following actions should the nurse instruct the client to take prior to initiating postural drainage?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Use an albuterol inhaler. Prior to postural drainage, the adolescent client with cystic fibrosis should use an albuterol inhaler to help open up the airways and facilitate mucus clearance during the procedure. Albuterol is a bronchodilator that helps to relax the muscles around the airways, making it easier for the client to breathe and improving the effectiveness of postural drainage. Eating a meal (choice
A) is not recommended before postural drainage as it can cause discomfort and potentially lead to vomiting. Taking pancrelipase (choice
B) should be done during or after meals to aid in digestion, not before postural drainage. Completing oral hygiene (choice
D) is important for overall oral health but is not directly related to preparing for postural drainage in this case.
