Infants who have cystic fibrosis.
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is presenting an in-service about the use of postural drainage for infants who have cystic fibrosis. Which of the following positions should the nurse identify as being contraindicated for the infant?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Trendelenburg. This position involves the patient lying flat on their back with the feet elevated higher than the head. For infants with cystic fibrosis, this position can cause increased pressure on the chest and abdomen, making breathing more difficult. Postural drainage typically involves positioning the infant in a way that helps mucus drainage from the lungs, which is hindered by the Trendelenburg position.
Choices A, B, and C are not contraindicated as they do not pose the same risks to the infant's breathing and are commonly used in postural drainage techniques.
