Answer to Question 1

D
Fat-soluble vitamins are poorly absorbed because of deficient pancreatic enzymes in children with cystic fibrosis; therefore, supplements are necessary. Vitamin C and calcium are not fat soluble. B6 and B12 are not fat-soluble vitamins. Magnesium is not a vitamin.

Answer to Question 2

C
Children with cystic fibrosis need to take enzymes with all food for adequate absorption of nutrients. Pancreatic enzymes do not affect the respiratory system and are taken within 30 minutes of eating all meals and snacks. Giving the medication 1 hour after meals is inappropriate and ineffective for absorption of nutrients. Wheezing is not a reason to stop taking enzyme replacements.
