Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Hemorrhage is the most common postoperative complication. Blood trickling down the back of the child's throat could cause frequent swallowing.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Postural drainage for the child with CF is done following nebulization. Therapy is best scheduled before meals or at least 1 hour after eating to prevent vomiting.
