Infant undergoing pilocarpine iontophoresis testing for cystic fibrosis
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to the parents of an infant who is to undergo pilocarpine iontophoresis testing for cystic fibrosis. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: The test will measure the amount of chloride in your baby's sweat. This statement should be included in the teaching because pilocarpine iontophoresis testing is used to measure the chloride levels in sweat, which is a diagnostic test for cystic fibrosis. This test helps identify individuals with cystic fibrosis by measuring the amount of chloride in their sweat.
Incorrect answers:
A: A nurse will insert an IV prior to the test - This statement is incorrect because an IV is not required for pilocarpine iontophoresis testing.
B: We will measure the amount of protein in your baby's urine over a 24-hour period - This statement is incorrect as measuring urine protein levels is not part of pilocarpine iontophoresis testing.
D: Your baby will need to fast for 8 hours prior to the test - This statement is incorrect because fasting is not necessary for this test and does not affect the results.
