Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a child who has cystic fibrosis and a prescription to receive chest physiotherapy (CPT). Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Administer albuterol prior to CPT. Albuterol is a bronchodilator that helps open up the airways, making it easier for mucus to be cleared during CPT. Administering albuterol before CPT helps optimize the effectiveness of the therapy by improving airflow and facilitating mucus clearance. Performing CPT immediately after the child eats (choice
B) may lead to discomfort and potential aspiration. Percussing each lung segment for 15 min (choice
C) is excessive and not necessary for effective CPT. Performing vibration during the client's inspirations (choice
D) is incorrect as vibration should be performed during exhalations to help mobilize secretions.
