A 7-year-old recently diagnosed with cystic fibrosis.
Question 1 of 5
The parents of a 7-year-old recently diagnosed with cystic fibrosis have received discharge instructions for chest physiotherapy (CPT), use of a flutter valve, and a cough assist machine. Which of the following statements made by the parents indicates an understanding of the discharge instructions?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. This statement indicates an understanding of the discharge instructions because chest physiotherapy (CPT), flutter valve, and cough assist machine are all aimed at loosening the child's secretions and promoting better expectoration in cystic fibrosis. CPT involves physical techniques to help move mucus from the lungs, while the flutter valve and cough assist machine aid in clearing secretions. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the purpose of these therapies in managing cystic fibrosis. Option A is incorrect as these therapies actually aim to improve lung function and reduce respiratory infections. Option B is incorrect because these therapies are part of a proactive treatment plan, not just for when the child is already ill. Option D is incorrect because these therapies primarily target respiratory secretions, not mucus in the GI tract.
