Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the care plan with a school-aged child who has cystic fibrosis and a prescription to receive vest therapy to mobilize respiratory secretions. Which of the following statements by the child indicates an understanding of the plan?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. Administering albuterol prior to vest therapy is essential to open up the airways and facilitate better clearance of respiratory secretions during the therapy. Albuterol is a bronchodilator that helps in relaxing the muscles in the airways, making it easier to breathe and enhancing the effectiveness of the vest therapy. Administering tobramycin (choice
A) is not necessary before vest therapy. Dornase alfa (choice
B) is used to thin mucus, not typically administered before vest therapy. Flutter valve therapy (choice
C) is a different airway clearance technique and should not be done after vest therapy.
Therefore, the child understanding the need for albuterol before vest therapy shows comprehension of the care plan.
