Answer: A: "We will give our child pancreatic enzymes before snacks and meals."
Rationale: Children with CF often have pancreatic insufficiency, leading to poor digestion and absorption of nutrients. Pancreatic enzymes help in the digestion of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Taking enzymes before snacks and meals helps ensure proper digestion and absorption of nutrients, promoting optimal growth and development in children with CF.
Summary of incorrect choices:
B: Restricting salt is not a primary concern for children with CF. The focus should be on adequate nutrition and enzyme replacement therapy.
C: Limiting fluid intake can lead to dehydration, which is not recommended for children with CF who are at risk of dehydration due to increased salt loss in sweat.
D: Low-fat meals with limited protein may not provide sufficient calories and nutrients for a child with CF who has increased energy needs due to malabsorption.
